U-M Medical School again ranked among best in the nation

The U-M Medical School, School of Nursing and other graduate-level training programs continue to be recognized nationally in the U.S. News & World Report annual rankings.

In new lists of America’s Best Graduate Schools released Tuesday, the Medical School ranked 15th among research-based medical schools and 7th for training primary care physicians.

This year, U.S. News unveiled new medical school specialty rankings), and U-M performed well in both new and existing categories, landing in the top 13 in all seven:

The School of Nursing ranked 8th for master’s degree training and 18th for doctorate of nursing practice training. Its specialty training also ranked highly, including 8th for administration, 8th for adult/geriatrics nurse practitioners, 10th for family nurse practitioners, and 8th for nursing informatics.

In addition, within the rankings for graduate training in engineering disciplines, U-M’s biomedical engineering program ranked 9th in the nation. The program is in a department jointly run by the College of Engineering and Medical School.

Among the programs ranked each year — in business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing — U-M maintained top-20 rankings in all six categories.

U.S. News used a new methodology for research-based medical school rankings this year; Medical School officials are evaluating what opportunities exist to improve rankings going forward.

The school’s reputation among residency directors continues to be strong, landing in a tie for the 4th highest score among research schools and 3rd highest among primary care schools. The school’s selectivity score — a measure of the caliber of student it accepts — rose.

U-M leaders note that rankings are just one measure of an academic program. What matters most in choosing a graduate school is the match between the particular interests, abilities and ambitions of each student with the specific programs, approaches and opportunities offered by a particular school.
