A School of Medicine is an educational institution that trains students to become medical professionals, such as doctors and surgeons. These schools offer programs that include classroom instruction, laboratory work, and clinical experience. Students learn about human anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and various medical practices. Typically, a School of Medicine requires a bachelor's degree for admission and offers a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree upon completion. Graduates must then complete a residency program to gain hands-on experience in their chosen specialty before they can practice medicine independently.
