Founded in 1824, Jefferson Medical College has awarded more than 27,000 medical degrees and has more living graduates than any other medical school in the nation.
It offers both traditional medical education programs and innovative joint degree programs to its enrollment of approximately 900 students each year.
Jefferson Medical College is situated on a thirteen-acre urban campus in Center City, Philadelphia.
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is one of the area's largest medical centers with 701 beds.
Recent renovations resulted in a state-of-the-art emergency and trauma center with its own operating room.
Jefferson students and Jefferson residents perform well as judged by the United States Medical Licensing Examination, residency positions obtained, and subsequent academic appointments.
The personal contact between students and faculty, an integral part of all programs, is especially important during clinical rotations where there is often a one-to-one relationship.
Excellent opportunities are available for basic and clinical research at Jefferson Medical College and at both University and Affiliated Hospitals.

Hi Justin. Funny story, I was actually shadowing Dr. Lutz today and he mentioned Jefferson U med school. He said that it is somewhat elitist in the sense that most of the students who attend have some connection with the school already--a family member who attended or a friend on the admissions committee, etc. This might explain the somewhat lower than average MCAT, GPA, etc.
