About Tulane School of Medicine & the Department of Surgery
Celebrating its 190th anniversary in 2024, Tulane University School of Medicine (SOM) is the second-oldest medical school in the Deep South and the 15th oldest medical school in the United States. The school was founded in 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana and has continued to thrive and expand into the 21st century. Tulane SOM recruits top faculty, researchers and students from around the world, and pushes the boundaries of medicine with groundbreaking medical research and surgical advances. From invention of the binocular microscope to robotic surgeries, SOM remains at the forefront of modern medical innovation and is comprised of 20 academic departments. Tulane University School of Medicine has been fully accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education since 1942 with the most recent accreditation valid through 2027.
