The news magazine ranked SOM's primary care program fourth among the 128 medical schools participating in the survey. This is the 12th consecutive year the primary care program has ranked in the top 3 percent.
According to the news magazine, the SOM's rural medicine specialty ranks sixth; and family medicine specialty ranks third, up two spots from last year. The family medicine specialty has ranked among the top five nationwide for 13 years in a row.
