From its cutting-edge curriculum to its vibrant social mission, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine is an exceptional place to start your medical journey.
Between our accelerated, 13-month preclinical curriculum, small-group learning communities, and two years of personalized, immersive experiences, you’ll be more than prepared to take the next step in your medical journey.
At VUSM, we believe wellness is crucial to your success. We recognize that a thriving healthcare system starts with thriving med students.
One mile from downtown Nashville, Vanderbilt University Medical Center is redefining cutting-edge patient care every day — and that’s precisely where you’ll grow your clinical skills alongside faculty and residents.
Changemaking doesn’t need to wait until you earn your degree. Serve at our student-run free clinic or join the social mission committee and start shaping healthcare from day one.
VUSM has so much to offer, including a flexible and individualized curriculum, a great location in Nashville, an emphasis on wellness, and a smaller student body that really makes your class feel close and supportive.
Additional education opportunities, like a fully funded research year, graduate certificates, and dual degree programs, will enhance your MD experience.
