Welcome to the Duke University School of Medicine

For more than 75 years, our community of scholars and students has been devoted to understanding the causes, prevention and treatment of human disease. We are a group of women and men committed to the highest of academic goals – the exploration and dissemination of medical and scientific knowledge.

Ranked in the top ten with schools twice its age, Duke is committed to socially relevant education, translational research, compassionate patient care and global healthcare solutions.

In 2006, the school’s more than 2,000 faculty members received more than $388 million in research support from the National Institutes of Health, ranking it second among U.S. medical schools.

Each year, the school receives more than 5000 applications from individuals around the globe wanting to be among the 100 students in each entering class.

Right now, more than 450 students are currently working toward their medical degrees. Some of them will stay even longer to become physician-scientists through our Medical Scientist Training Program.

We invite you to learn more about our teaching, research and patient care.

– Dean Nancy C. Andrews, M.D., Ph.D.
