• College of Medicine MD Program

The College of Medicine's MD program trains future physicians in the science and art of medicine. At Drexel, our medical students learn to combine cutting-edge technology with the highest level of compassion in the practice of medicine.

The MD program works closely with Drexel University's other colleges and schools as well as with the Philadelphia community. Our students have the opportunity to explore their scientific and clinical interests throughout their four years. Our long-standing partnerships with several affiliate training sites expose students to diverse patient populations and a variety of health conditions.

The program's innovative curriculum, experienced faculty and vibrant student life provide Drexel medical students with an outstanding educational experience.

Meet Danielle Mayblyum, Drexel MD Program Class of 2025

“I really liked our small class size and felt I was able to get to know all my classmates and our faculty well. I also appreciated how [the West Reading] campus was almost like a blank slate so we could start initiatives that we were passionate about. Now as a fourth-year student, it’s really rewarding seeing the growth of those ideas and all the new efforts that have been started.” Read more.

Meet Eddie Runquist, Drexel MD Program Class of 2025

“My path to medicine has been deeply influenced by both my family and personal experiences. My father has owned a pest control business for decades, where I worked part-time from a young age. During my junior year of high school, my father was involved in an accident in which he fractured his sacrum and three vertebrae in his spine. In the months that followed, I watched as rehabilitation restored his independence and shaped his recovery. This experience led me to start pursuing a career in the rehabilitation field to positively impact the lives of patients and their families as others did for my father.” Read more.
