Tulane University Health Sciences Center is in the midst of a spectacular renaissance and, as a result, has become a most interesting place to study medicine. While much can be said about the faculty, curriculum, research programs, facilities, and other components of the Health Sciences Center, there can be no doubt that what has made Tulane University School of Medicine special is its student body, arguably the most diverse of all the nation's medical schools. The diversity of students, combined with an open and cooperative faculty, has led to the development of a true academic community, a community in which students learn in a non-hostile environment, with the help of friends and colleagues.
The School of Medicine offers an outstanding curriculum that is designed to prepare students for any field of medicine they wish to pursue upon graduation. There is an excellent balance between basic and clinical sciences with an emphasis on the attitudes, behaviors and clinical skills necessary to effectively practice medicine.
