Best Medical Schools in North America
Updated:
Below is a list of best universities in North America ranked based on their research performance in Medicine. A graph of 636M citations received by 15.5M academic papers made by 1,685 universities in North America was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.
We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
