School Info

Howard University College of Medicine provides students of high academic potential with a medical education of exceptional quality and prepares physicians and other health care professionals to serve the underserved. Particular focus is on the education of disadvantaged students for careers in medicine. Emphasis is placed on developing skills and habits of life-long learning and producing world leaders in medicine. Special attention is directed to teaching and research activities that address health care disparities. The College also seeks to improve the health of Americans and the global community through public health training programs and initiatives. Our mission also includes the discovery of new knowledge through research. Lastly, the College supports the education and training of postgraduate physicians, other health care providers, and graduate students in the biomedical sciences.

Curriculum

The core disciplines of the first and second years include gross and developmental anatomy, histology and cell structure, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, medical genetics, psychiatry, as well as biometrics and epidemiology. In addition to these, two interdisciplinary courses are offered in the first year: Basic Neuroscience and Introduction to Patient Care I. Interdisciplinary courses offered during the second year include Pathophysiology of Organ Systems, Infectious Diseases, and the principles of physical diagnosis in Introduction to Patient Care III. The third and fourth years consist of units of instruction in a continuum of clerkships and examinations for various clinical subjects. During the fourth year, opportunity is available for additional clinical or research experience through twenty-four (24) weeks of electives. Elective Requirements: Time is available for elective courses presented in the form of lectures, research, seminar and clinical experiences. These courses are designed to broaden the basic knowledge acquired in the Core Curriculum and also to meet the needs of individual students that arise from differences in background, interests, and choice of future careers in medicine or medically related professions. Beginning in the second semester of the first year, each medical student may enroll in one (1) elective per semester through the second year.

Facilities

The College is a part of Howard University, a comprehensive research university. While the University community has traditionally been predominantly black, Howard has been an interracial and cosmopolitan institution throughout its history, with students, faculty and staff of all races and from many foreign nations. All must meet the high standards of excellence of Howard University, which has the largest concentration of black faculty and student scholars in the country. In addition to the College of Medicine, the Howard University Health Sciences Center includes the Howard University Hospital; the College of Dentistry; the College of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Health Sciences; the Louis Stokes Health Sciences Library; and the Student Health Center. Located in the nation's capital, the College can draw upon the immense medical resources of this area, including the National Institutes of Health and the National Library of Medicine.

What do you like most?

"I graduated in 2005 (the survey earliest option was 2007). What I liked the most is the support for students academic success. Curriculum that stressed integration of clinical experience early on within the students training. Finally, the breadth of pathology seen in my clinical rotations where invaluable!! Due to the school serving a large population and also tthe "underserved", many patients came in with late staged diseases. I often evaluated, diagnosed and treated conditions that my colleagues in residency only read about." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"Though the facilities are older, they were doing a good job renovating. I actually gives you the "classic" medical school feeling due to the nostalgic hallways. In reality, most of your first 2 years are spent in the renovated classrooms which have great computer projector screens and of course wifi." | Report Response

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
