MEDICAL SCHOOL
UB is a major contributor to U.S. medical school faculties
The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences received high marks from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) in its 1995 Institutional Goals Ranking Report.
UB received its highest ranking-14th among the nation's 125 U. S. medical schools-in the category of percent of graduates who are on a medical school faculty. UB was one of only two public universities in the top 15.
In the remaining categories, UB placed in the top fifth to the top half in all listings but one, and was first or second among the State University of New York's four medical centers in all listings but one.
The AAMC report assessed the success of the nation's medical schools in meeting five goals considered important in today's medical climate: graduates entering primary-care specialties, graduates planning to practice in-state, graduates who are medical school faculty, graduates who are underrepresented minorities, and total research grants and contracts.
