It's that time of year again -- U.S. News and World Report has just released its annual ranking of the best medical schools for both research and primary care based on the 2012-2013 school year.
This year, 114 accredited medical schools and accredited osteopathic schools were included in both the research and primary care rankings. The results are based on surveys of these schools during fall 2012 and the beginning part of 2013.
The rankings of the best medical schools for research are based on eight indicators, while the rankings of the best medical schools for primary care are based on seven. Factors used in both rankings include reputation for academic quality, student selectivity in admissions, and faculty-to-student ratio. The research rankings also included research activity as an indicator, while the primary care rankings included the proportion of graduates going into primary care residency programs.
