I found this in a medical student forum:
"If you want to measure "best" school by its delivery of medical care to the most people who don't normally get any, it would be hard to beat ELAM in Cuba. They have something like 10,000 students. As I understand it, all the students are from outside Cuba. All students are funded by either their home country, to which they're required to return, or by Cuba or Venezuela. In a number of countries in Central America and Africa, students are trained locally by local physicians and sent to Cuba for basic sciences.
Do they turn out neurosurgeons? No. Would all graduates pass the US boards? No. (US grads of this school, and there are quite a few, have to pass US boards.) Do their grads make boatloads of money? No.
Y'know, so "best" school for whom?" posted by DrMidlife
And this one too:
"I think that almost every developed nation has atleast one medical school that can be called (although very subjectively) a top tier medical school. However, this would be almost impossible to rank fairly and objectively since most indicators you would be interested in are US biased (% graduates passing USMLE for example).
Even medical schools in some underdeveloped nations can be argued to be very good in some sense. Many such institutions teach reputedly better physical exam skills (mostly because doctors cant always rely on the availability of tests)." posted by gro2001
Do a online search for medical school ratings....
In general though: Harvard and Stanford are probably the two top in the world.
