Medical Schools
The Role of Medical Schools in Healthcare Delivery
There are a limited number of medical schools in the United States -- only 130. These medical schools are four year institutions. Once students graduate, they must complete a residency in different clinical settings, such as pediatrics or family medicine, to become eligible to practice medicine. The size of medical school classes per year ranges form 75 to over 200. Medical schools are certified by the Association of American Medical Colleges and must demonstrate teaching competencies in system-based care, professionalism and advocacy to continue to be certified.

Our community counts on us as a safety net hospital, whether or not they are disadvantaged patients, we have a very strong standing in the community. I think its things like this, innovations like this, that demonstrate to the community that we are here for you and that we are thinking about how to improve. We aren’t willing to stay with the status quo. I think it improves our standing.
