Mayo Medical School, now known as the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, is a research institution and medical school which is a part of the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, United States. It grants degrees in medicine, and is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. Widely regarded as one of the foremost medical schools in the United States, Mayo Medical School ranks as the most selective medical school in the country according to the 2016 U.S News and World Report, with an acceptance rate of just 1.8% for the incoming class of Fall 2015. The school is also consistently ranked as one of the most affordable private medical schools in the country.
Mayo Medical School serves as the official teaching arm for the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester, which is currently ranked by U.S News and World Report as the best hospital in the nation, with more #1 ranked specialties than any other medical institution in the country.
The Mayo Clinic has a long history of medical education, and was a pioneer in post-graduate education for doctors. In 1972, Mayo Medical School opened its doors to 40 students for the first Mayo Medical School class chosen from 473 applicants. In its short history the school has risen to become one of the leading medical schools in the United States. Today, the class size is still very small and select by American medical school standards. In addition to allowing for high selection standards and significant individual student attention, the class size is small in part because every medical student at the school receives financial assistance from the Mayo Foundation, with all students receiving at least half tuition scholarships. A large amount of need-based aid is also available. This is in line with the Mayo philosophy that the medical school should be able to train the best and brightest from all over the world, regardless of the ability of a student to pay for their medical education.
Mayo Medical School is located in the heart of downtown Rochester. The MMS campus activity is centered on the Mitchell Student Center next to the Mayo and Gonda buildings. These interconnected buildings, together with Rochester Methodist Hospital, comprise the core of Mayo's clinical practice facilities in downtown Rochester.
