You will build a better world for everyone upon our legacy of serving others. Be a part of the future of medicine.
Duquesne's Medical School is now accepting applications for our inaugural class starting Fall 2024.
Duquesne's Medical School will aspire to be among the most forward-thinking medical schools in the nation, addressing the two largest problems facing medicine today:
- a shortage of doctors in primary care disciplines and
- a system of pervasive disparities in health care, by racial and socio-economic dimensions, especially in underserved urban and rural communities.
- World-class education and commitment to excellence that will serve our students and all who they will serve in their future
- Historic strengths in the health sciences and research
- Commitment to serving the vulnerable and marginalized
- Proven track record of effectively addressing health disparities and assisting under-resourced communities
- Excellence in teaching and service with its students
