The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences seeks to graduate “Physician Citizens” committed to local, national, and global public service through excellent patient care, leadership, advocacy for change and innovation, and scholarly inquiry. This goal will be achieved through a robust and flexible curriculum and by leveraging the School’s unique position as part of a major university located in the heart of the nation’s capital surrounded by major institutions and leading authorities in domestic and international health.
To meet this goal, the MD Program is dedicated to admitting a well-rounded group of students who will be prepared to meet the broad and disparate needs of patients and their communities.

Regional Medical Campus at LifeBridge Health
We are pleased to announce our NEW Regional Medical Campus located at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, part of the LifeBridge Health System. Our first regional campus will start in April 2023, where students will complete the clinical phase of the MD Program. New applicants can now choose either the main or regional campus when applying to the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Beginning August 2024, newly admitted students will be accepted as a main campus student or a regional campus student. All accepted students will complete the pre-clinical phase of medical school at the main campus in DC and then regional campus students will transition to Baltimore for the clinical phase of training at Sinai Hospital. The MD degree conferred by the GW SMHS will be the same for all graduates regardless of the clinical campus in which training was completed.

After spending the summer studying small molecule inhibitors of thrombosis, I considered take a year off to further build my research skills."
