The Medical School

The University of Missouri School of Medicine consistently ranks highly for primary care education.  It is currently ranked within the top 10 medical schools for primary care by US News and World Reports America's Best Graduate Schools 2005 edition.  This is largely due to the problem based learning curriculum used at our school that teaches students how to pursue their own educational needs throughout their careers.  The medical students are consistently well motivated to learn and a pleasure to work with during the clinical rotations.

The University of Missouri School of Medicine and the University Hospital are linked together to create a unified educational environment.  Residents have full access to the J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library, including online access to any major medical journal.  With such extensive resources available within the hospital complex itself, as well as from any home computer, researching a topic or preparing for a conference can be swift and effortless.
