Drexel University College of Medicine is the consolidation of two venerable medical schools with rich and intertwined histories: Hahnemann Medical College and Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania. Established in 1848 and 1850, respectively, they were two of the earliest medical colleges in the United States, and Woman’s was the very first medical school for women in the world. Drexel University College of Medicine has over 1,000 medical students. Additionally, there are over 800 graduate students enrolled in the College of Medicine’s Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies. The College of Medicine is currently educating 1 in 83 medical students in the United States. Drexel University College of Medicine is committed to a diverse student body and encourages nontraditional applicants to apply. The College seeks highly-qualified and motivated students who demonstrate the desire, intelligence and integrity to become excellent physicians. The College of Medicine's main campus, Queen Lane, is in a suburban-like setting in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. Additional facilities are located at the Center City campus. Our Pediatrics Department is at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, and Psychiatry is based at Friends Hospital. Students can receive clinical education at over 20 affiliated hospitals and ambulatory sites chosen for commitment to teaching as well as medical excellence. In 2021, the College of Medicine will open an additional medical campus location in collaboration with Tower Health near Reading Hospital. The College has established one of the largest centers for spinal cord research in the Mid-Atlantic Region, and founded one of the leading centers for malaria study in the nation. Collaborative projects leveraging Drexel University’s technological expertise push the frontiers of nanomedicine and neuroengineering.
