The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recently released a new Medical School Missions Dashboard, which allows Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) to learn how its College of Medicine ranks in relation to other accredited medical academic institutions.
The College of Medicine was proud to learn that with respect to the important medical mission of preparing physicians to fulfill the needs of the community, it ranked in the 94th percentile for the amount of time devoted to “Instruction in the Role of Community Health and Social Service Agencies, ” and in the 89th percentile for “Learning with Other Health Professions Students.”
Further, evaluations from the 2013 College of Medicine graduating class indicate that NEOMED ranks in the 90th percentile for “Quality of Family Medicine Clerkship.”
“These results are not surprising given NEOMED’s emphasis on interprofessional education and public health—two factors that make our institution unique.”said Jeff Susman, M.D., Dean of the College of Medicine.
