Ucla Medical School Ranking

“UC health professional schools continue to lead the way in training our next generation of health professionals who will advance patient care, research our most pressing health conditions, and develop new evidence-based solutions. As we’ve experienced throughout the pandemic, it is critical to have a strong, diverse and resilient health care workforce.”

University of California Health’s schools recognized as national leaders in graduate school rankings

UC’s six schools of medicine ranked nationally across multiple measures, including three in the top 15 for primary care and three in the top 20 for research. UC schools of nursing scored highly with three master’s degree programs recognized among the top 25 nationally. Two UC public health schools ranked in the top 10 nationally and another was rated in the top 20.

U.S. News continued its review of U.S. medical school diversity this year and rated four UC medical schools in the top 15, with UC Davis No. 3 in the nation; UCSF and UC Riverside tied for No. 11; and UCLA at No. 14. U.S. News’ diversity index was created to measure progress in enrolling students from underrepresented groups and creating a future health workforce that better reflects the general population.

“Ongoing work to bring diversity into medical schools is important to ensure we have more physicians who deeply understand the needs of our communities. It is rewarding to see UC medical schools highly ranked in this area as we continue to work on increasing equity and inclusion through expansion of our PRIME programs.”

— Dr. Carrie L. Byington, executive vice president of University of California Health

UC’s health professional schools support the University’s education, research and service mission, especially as they train health care professionals to help address the severe shortage of providers across the state. Nearly 70 percent of UC health professional school graduates choose to remain in California.

“UC health professional schools continue to lead the way in training our next generation of health professionals who will advance patient care, research our most pressing health conditions, and develop new evidence-based solutions. As we’ve experienced throughout the pandemic, it is critical to have a strong, diverse and resilient health care workforce.”

— Dr. Cathryn Nation, vice president for health sciences

The index of most diverse medical schools was included for the second time in this year’s report, using school-level race and ethnicity enrollment information reported to U.S. News by the schools.

Methodology: CEOWORLD magazine’s best medical schools in the world for 2022 is based on 7 major indicators of quality, overall Score (100%) is the sum of:

1) Academic reputation
2) Admission Eligibility
3) Specialization
4) Global reputation and influence
5) Annual tuition and fees
6) Research performance
7) Student satisfaction

We believe rankings are one useful tool among many for evaluating the merits of a school’s degree program, but should not be relied upon exclusively or take the place of personal judgment or consultation with educational experts. Data for these indicators were collected from publicly available sources, medical school’s website, as well as our own editorial judgment. Information considered includes rankings and awards from reputable national and international publications, student-to-professor ratio, admissions acceptance rate, retention and graduation rates, tuition cost, financial aid availability, and accreditation. Students, industry professionals, and academicians were asked to rate medical schools on a scale of 1 “marginal” to 100 “outstanding” or “don’t know.”

*However, this is by no means a comprehensive list, while the 100 medical schools above are the “CEOWORLD magazine’s best medical schools in the world for 2022,” there may be many other outstanding schools that offer excellent programs.
* Rankings should not be viewed as the most important aspect when choosing a medical school, and are simply one element to consider.
* Some of the institutions featured in this article are commercial partners of the CEOWORLD magazine.
* The top-ranked medical school receives 100 points.
* The rankings are the result of a rigorous analytical exercise, incorporating multiple data sources, without relying on university data submissions.
* Detailed survey data and information collected directly from 120,000 individuals, across 7 data points.
* Surveys completed by 60,000 students, 40,000 industry professionals, and 20,000 academicians around the world.
*The overall score is numerical scores given to the schools based on students, academicians, and industry professionals — measuring the quality of the school. Overall scores are out of 100.

The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 120,000 respondents is plus or minus 1.2 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that as in all survey research, there are possible sources of error—such as coverage, nonresponse, and measurement error——that could affect the results.
