The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine is a 4-year MD-granting program that welcomed its first class in 1927. Pritzker School of Medicine’s students chose Pritzker for the small class size, which gives them an opportunity to have a close network of classmates and faculty. The location of the school and structure of the curriculum gives students the opportunity to translate disease from bench to bedside. The School of Medicine also requires 100 elective credit hours during the first year Spring quarter, which gives you an opportunity to explore your interests. The Pritzker community is made up of individuals with a variety of backgrounds and social contributions.
