Celebrating the Legacy of American Medical Education on Independence Day – BIGR

The Boston Institute for Global Rankings (BIGR) shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Happy Fourth of July from BIGR!

On this day, America celebrates what it has built. And among its greatest achievements, often overlooked on a day of fireworks and flags, is a medical education system that has shaped the health of the entire planet.

Did you know that Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independance, was a physician and professor at what is today Sidney Kimmel Medical College?

Or that William Welch, the man who built the modern American medical education system from scratch, trained at Yale School of Medicine, before going on to found the The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, two of the all-time giants of our university rankings?

On Independence Day, we celebrate not just a nation – but the spirit of curiosity and ambition that has made American medical science a gift to the entire world.

That legacy is measurable. BIGR evaluated medical universities across the USA to find out who is carrying it forward. Have you yet seen the list?”
