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.
Today, the medical school is but one part of the Tulane University Health Sciences Center, which includes the School of Medicine, the Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, the University Health Service, the Tulane National Primate Research Center, the US-Japan Biomedical Research Laboratories, and the Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research. Most components of the Health Sciences Center are located in the heart of New Orleans, in the medical district that comprises Tulane facilities and the LSU/Charity Hospital center just north of the New Orleans Central Business District. Among the strengths of the Tulane research enterprise are several collaborative efforts housed in the recently renovated J.
