UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester is the best school in the Northeast for primary care, according to the U.S. News & World Report.
UMass Chan Medical School’s T.H. Chan School of Medicine in Worcester has been named one of the top 15 best graduate medical schools for primary care in the nation for 2024 by the U.S. News & World Report.
Forgoing numerical rankings this year, U.S. News ranked graduate medical schools on a tier system from 1 (highest performing) to 4 (lowest performing). UMass Chan was the sole university in the Northeast to earn tier 1 status.
“Our campus community is united together in the collaborative spirit of advancing medicine and science to change the course of the history of disease. This recognizes what we continuously strive for: training the next generation of physicians, nurse leaders, and scientists and improving the health and wellness of the people throughout the commonwealth and around the world,” UMass Chan Chancellor Dr. Michael Collins said in a Tuesday press release from the Worcester school.
UMass Chan earned tier 2 ranking in the U.S. News’ list of 2024 best medical schools for research.
“This ranking validates what we all know to be true: That our graduates are transformed by their education and through the real-world expertise they gain at UMass Chan,” University of Massachusetts system President Marty Meehan said in the release. “The lives of countless people across the Commonwealth and around the world will, in turn, be transformed through biomedical research and incredible patient care.”
In response to the heightened demand for physicians, UMass Chan increased its incoming class of 2028 to 225 students, up from 200 in its class of 2027. The medical school started accepting out-of-state students with its class of 2016.
UMass Chan’s ranking comes shortly after the university unveiled its $350-million New Education and Research Building in June aimed at advancing disease research. The nine-story building covers 350,000-square-feet and houses more than 70 principal investigators.
