US News & World Report Recognizes Rowan University Cooper School of Medicine Among Best Medical Schools 2024 | Rowan Today

Rowan University Cooper School of Medicine (CMSRU) has earned high praise among the 2024 Best Medical Schools for Primary Care and Research by US News & World Report.

“I am extremely proud of CMSRU once again being recognized among the top medical schools in the nation by US News & World Report this year with a Tier 2 rating in Primary Care and Tier 3 in Research. Our rating of Level 2 Primary Care ranks higher than any medical school in the Philadelphia region and the entire state of New Jersey,” said Annette C. Reboli, MD, dean of CMSRU. “At CMSRU, we are committed to excellence in medical education, research and community service, and this recognition reaffirms our efforts to cultivate physician leaders who are compassionate, innovative and committed to improving patient care and outcomes. This recognition is especially important as we are facing a shortage of primary care physicians in New Jersey and across the country.”

This is the first year US News has used a tiered rating system. Only schools in Tier 1 and Tier 2 are eligible to use the Best Medical School award badges in recognition of their excellence.

Designed for prospective students seeking a medical degree, this publication of the best medical schools provides students with access to data from medical schools to research and primary care across the country.

By collecting graduate school data each year, US News can present actionable data on enrollment, faculty-to-student ratio and other critical quality indicators that help prospective students make informed decisions. Prospective students can see how CMSRU compares to other institutions and how the Best Medical Schools are ranked by visiting methodology.
