The 25 best medical schools in America
We asked a panel of 15 doctors with different backgrounds and specialties to weigh in. Each panelist listed which schools they believe train the best primary-care doctors based on their experience and professional opinion.
The panelists are affiliated with some of the best hospitals in the country, including the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Mount Sinai, and Boston Medical Center.
We broke ties using the schools' average Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores and acceptance rates.
The University of Washington took the No. 1 spot, followed by the University of California at San Francisco and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. While big state schools beating out Ivies for the top spots might seem counterintuitive, these schools line up with other primary-care rankings and show how doctors feel.
"The [state] schools have state support with a mission to produce primary-care physicians," said Dr. Ronald E. Drusin, a professor of medicine at Columbia. "They are not private, research-based schools."
