Special Report: U.S. News Rankings
And how we are doing (great!) among our peers in key areas
The John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) is ranked in the top 60 of over 175 accredited medical schools (allopathic and osteopathic) in 2020 Best Graduate School Rankings released today by U.S. News & World Report. JABSOM, which has placed as high as #19 in Primary Care (2015) in the rankings, rose from last year's rank of #59 in Primary Care to 55 for 2020. At #55, we tied with Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University Kimmel School of Medicine, with 4.5 times our enrollment; Virginia Commonwealth, with more than twice our enrollment; and Ohio's Case Western Reserve, with more than three times our enrollment.
In Research, JABSOM is ranked this year at #56 (from 2019's #41), and tied with much larger schools: Stony Brook University with nearly twice our enrollment, the aforementioned Thomas Jefferson University Kimmel School of Medicine, and Boston's Tufts University, with almost three times our enrollment. In other words, we are not in bad company, especially considering our relatively small faculty size.
