Medical school is a professional graduate school that offers training in the field of medicine, preparing students to become licensed medical professionals such as doctors, surgeons, or physicians. Medical school programs typically include a combination of classroom instruction, laboratory work, and clinical rotations in hospitals or other healthcare settings. Students receive training in basic and clinical science, patient care, medical ethics, and professional development. Upon completion of medical school, graduates must pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) in order to become licensed to practice medicine.
