Medical Schools

In the United States, a medical school is a tertiary educational institution, or part of such an institution, that teaches medicine, and awards a professional degree for physicians and surgeons.

Such medical degrees include the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS, MBChB, MBBCh, BMBS), Doctor of Medicine (MD), or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). Many medical schools offer additional degrees, such as a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D), Master's degree (M.Sc), a physician assistant program, or other post-secondary education. To gain admission to a medical school that is accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) , the national accrediting body for MD degree programs, applicants are required to have four-year Bachelor's degree or at least 90 credit hours from an accredited college or university.

Currently, there are 159 LCME-accredited medical schools that grant the MD degree in United States.
