One of the top medical schools in the nation, the UCSF School of Medicine is dedicated to excellence in education, research, and patient care. Woven throughout all these pursuits is a strong commitment to public service, a collaborative work ethic, and providing care for our diverse communities.
The curriculum challenges old assumptions about the way students learn and encourages their active participation in the process of study and investigation. Medical education must inspire. Accordingly, the list of UCSF innovations garners continual commendation not just from our own students and faculty, but from schools and education leaders across the country. These innovations include: Case-based and integrated block courses in the first two years; the third year Intersessions and the fourth year Areas of Concentration; a highly flexible digital curriculum called, iROCKET; and the Academy of Medical Educators, which offers unique institutional support for teaching excellence.

Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
