Students can earn an M.D. or a Ph.D., and about 10 students a year can earn both through the Medical Scientist Training Program.
Through the WWMAI program, a partnership between the School of Medicine and nearby states, students complete several six-week clerkships in Washington, Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, and Idaho. Students can also demonstrate expertise in the region and present research work at the Western Student Medical Research Forum. UW medical students can get involved in service-learning projects like CHAP, the Community Health Advancement Program, and SPARX, Student Providers Aspiring to Rural and Underserved Experience. There are also about 50 student organizations to check out, from the MD Minstrels to the Christian Medical & Dental Association.
Why Wisconsin?
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UW SMPH) has been a leader in medical education, research, and clinical care for many years. We are internationally known for our advances in medicine and for the quality of care provided by the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics.
The UW School of Medicine and Public Health is not just a state medical school; we are a resource to the nation and the world. We have changed your life and will continue to do so with breakthroughs ranging from the discovery of Vitamin D to being a pioneer in stem cell development.
As the only combined School of Medicine and Public Health in the country, our students graduate not only prepared to care for patients, but also ready to change the health of the communities in which they practice.
The School's basic-science departments provide educational opportunities for students from all schools and colleges within the University. Clinical teaching programs are conducted at the University of Washington Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, Seattle Children's hospital, Northwest Hospital & Medical Center, Valley Medical Center, and the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Healthcare System, as well as at other clinical affiliates in Seattle and throughout the WWAMI states.
The School admits approximately 240 medical students to its first-year class and has a total enrollment of over 1000 students pursuing the Doctor of Medicine degree. The full-time faculty numbers more than 2,100 members and there are more than 4,500 clinical faculty located throughout the WWAMI region. The affiliated University residency-training network enrolls more than 1,200 house officers. Enrollment in the graduate programs in the basic sciences exceeds 600 students, and approximately 1,000 postdoctoral fellows are enrolled in advanced training programs. The School has baccalaureate and/or graduate programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, prosthetics and orthotics, and medical technology. The School participates in training a broad spectrum of other allied health professionals. The School is also home for the Physician Assistant Training Program known as MEDEX.
The school was founded 70 years ago in 1946 as the 76th medical school in the country and is a leader in primary care, family medicine, biomedical research, experimental therapy, clinical treatments, and academic medicine. In 2014, the UW School of Medicine was ranked #10 in research and #1 in primary care and in rural medicine by U.S. News and World Report. The UW School of Medicine also ranks as one of the top medical schools in receipt of federal researching funding, having been awarded $712.3 million in grants by the National Institutes of Health in 2009. Only Harvard Medical School was awarded more federal funding.
In May 2013, it was announced that UW Medicine and PeaceHealth were coming together in a "strategic affiliation." The American Civil Liberties Union criticized the merger as PeaceHealth is "directed by the Catholic Ethical and Religious Directives" and UW Medicine is taxpayer-funded.
