The John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> (JABSOM<\/abbr>) at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Mānoa has moved up in the 2014 U.S. News and World Report<\/em><\/a> lists of Best U.S. Medical Schools<\/a> in both primary care and research.<\/p>\n

JABSOM<\/abbr>’s primary care program is ranked 57, jumping up nine places from 2013 rankings. Research earns the 78 spot, up four places*. The U.S. News and World Report<\/em> annual rankings of professional school programs are based on both expert opinion and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students, according to the magazine. JABSOM<\/abbr> has consistently ranked in the top 100.<\/p>\n

JABSOM also has led the nation for three years in extramural research funding (including gifts and faculty practice income) among land grant universities without a university hospital. In fiscal year 2013, external funding at the school totaled $57 million.<\/p>\n

The rankings come at a frenetic time for U.S. medical schools. Friday, March 21, is Match Day, when fourth-year medical students from across the country will be matched into post-MD training slots through the National Resident Matching Program. The match is conducted simultaneously across time zones in the United States. JABSOM<\/abbr> candidates will learn where they have matched in a ceremony which begins at 6 a.m. at the school’s Kakaʻako<\/span> location.<\/p>\n

In residency training, newly minted MDs practice under faculty supervision while honing their skills in a medical specialty or sub-specialty, and working toward board certification and licensure. JABSOM<\/abbr>, in partnership with Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Residency Programs, Inc., will be placing residents into its programs. More than 230 physicians are currently training at health centers in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> through the JABSOM<\/abbr> residency programs. The new cycle of residency training begins July 1, 2014.<\/p>\n

*JABSOM<\/abbr> tied in primary care at 57 with Yeshiva University in New York and Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia; and tied in research at 78 with the University of South Florida and the University of Louisville medical schools.<\/p>\n
