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 first degree-granting medical school in the world for women. Drexel University College of Medicine has more than 1,200 medical students; we are currently educating 1 in 82 allopathic medical students in the United States. Additionally, there are around 930 graduate students enrolled in the College of Medicine’s College of Medicine Graduate Programs. The College’s 2,600 faculty expertly teach across our local campuses and the many regional and academic medical campuses where clerkship years and research training occur.
