100 Best Medical schools in the United States
Updated:
Below is a list of best universities in the United States ranked based on their research performance in Medicine. A graph of 430M citations received by 12.2M academic papers made by 1,558 universities in the United States was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.
We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
