About the College
Welcome… and thank you for your interest
in the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
This is an exciting time to join the Ohio State University Medical Center community. By every measure, we’re an organization on the move. The past five years have been the most successful in our history.
We made the largest one-year and five-year gains among all U.S. medical schools in the 2006-2007 U.S.News & World Report “Colleges of Medicine (Research)” rankings. On objective measures alone, Ohio State moved up to 23rd overall, 7th among public medical schools.
Learn with the best. More than 170 of our faculty are listed in Best Doctors in America, and Ohio State has led the nation three years in a row in the number of faculty elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Your classmates, too, will be among the best and brightest, with less than one in ten applicants granted admission.
Feel the energy. We’ve embarked on a massive 15-year construction program that will set the standard for academic medical centers of the future, creating dramatic and dynamic research, clinical and learning environments. We’re a world leader in advancing personalized health care, a revolutionary new brand of healthcare delivery based on each person’s unique biological, behavioral and environmental characteristics.
Medicine is one of the noblest professions, and at Ohio State you will learn more than just the science of it. Through a nationally recognized humanities curriculum and clinical skills lab, weekly receptions with College leaders and an alumni speakers’ series, we help you gain the skills and confidence you will need to be a leader in your profession and your community.
Take some time to explore this Web site to see the world of options that is open to you here at Ohio State. Feel free to contact us at (614) 292-2220 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
