Where Purpose Shapes Practice
Since 1901, the Lewis Katz School of Medicine has prepared students to lead with purpose—as compassionate clinicians, bold scientists, and community-driven changemakers.
Our MD students come from all walks of life, united by a shared calling to improve health in Philadelphia and beyond. Whether you’re a recent college graduate, a career changer, or someone driven by lived experience, you’ll find your place at Katz.
Our medical education is rigorous, research-connected, and deeply embedded in the community. From your first year, you’ll work alongside top faculty and researchers who are driving discoveries in cardiovascular health, cancer, neuroscience, infectious disease, and population science. You’ll be equipped to treat the toughest cases and advance new models of care for communities that need it most. This is where rigorous education meets real-world impact and where you’ll gain the skills to lead in patient care, education, science, and service.
