Overview

Pitt medThe University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (UPSOM), or Pitt Med, is a leading institution in the fields of internal medicine, pediatrics, and women’s health. Founded in 1883, the school is affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), which is often ranked among the top hospitals in the country. The school also receives a great deal of funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is well-known for conducting biomedical research. With about 600 M.D. students and nearly 2,500 faculty members, the faculty-student ratio is approximately 4 to 1.

Aside from a traditional four-year MD degree, Pitt Med also has Ph.D. degrees through programs like the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Graduate Program, the Biomedical Informatics Training Program, and the Molecular Biophysics and Structural Biology Graduate Program. It also offers Master’s degrees in clinical research, biomedical science, and medical education. For students completing an MD degree, the curriculum includes lectures, problem-based courses, and hands-on clinical experiences. During the clinicals, students participate in clerkships in an area of concentration of their choosing (ranging from Disabilities Medicine to Global Health).

Students are given access to patients early in their medical school career, with patient care and community-site visits within the first year. Aside from time in the hospital, students also take basic science courses on physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. During their third year, Pitt Med students perform clerkships in nearby hospitals. In the fourth year, every student completes a research project. Presenting the project is mandatory in order to graduate.

Pitt Med differentiates itself from other medical schools by providing online curriculum through the Navigator system. This program consists of Web-based applications that allow students to access syllabi, quizzes, podcasts, and other resources to help them increase their understanding of key concepts. The school also provides students with the chance to interact with on-campus organizations and take part in extracurriculars. Many students belong to the American Medical Student Association or Pitt Women in Medicine. Students interested in a diverse, comprehensive curriculum will find many reasons to love the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
