Wondering where to apply for medical school or how many medical schools are located in your state? Check out my new map of all medical schools in the United States. As of May 2015 there are 179 total medical schools in the United States. This includes 143 allopathic (MD) and 36 osteopathic (DO) medical schools. I obtained the list and associated locations of each school from Wikipedia's current list of medical schools in the United States. Interestingly, New York is the state with the most medical schools (15), even more than both California (12) and Texas (11). Idaho is the largest state without a medical school (>1,500,000 people living in the state). Click on the icons below to see the name of each medical school.
My name is Andrew and I am a first year resident training to be an ophthalmologist. I created ShortWhiteCoats to provide medical students, residents, and the public with all the information I spent so many hours looking for during medical school.

That is strange. We pulled it from the AAMC database. I will look into this.
