Medical Schools in the United States
There are currently 155 accredited MD-granting schools and 37 accredited DO-granting schools in the United States, totaling 192 medical schools. Howard University College of Medicine, Meharry Medical College, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science are the only Historically Black Medical Schools (HBMSs). Morgan State University and Xavier University of Louisiana are expanding into the medical field to address the shortage of HBMSs in the United States.
Since the early 1990s, Xavier University of Louisiana has led nationally in placing African American students into medical school.
