School of Medicine

A School of Medicine is an institution that educates students to become doctors and healthcare professionals. It offers programs focused on medical sciences, patient care, and clinical practice, typically culminating in degrees such as Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO). Students learn about anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and various medical specialties through classroom instruction and hands-on training in hospitals or clinics. Schools of Medicine may also engage in research to advance medical knowledge and improve treatments. Upon graduation, students must complete residency training before practicing independently as licensed physicians.
