Department of Pediatrics Ranked No. 7
U.S.News & World Report ranked Children’s University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM) Department of Pediatrics seventh in the country in the “America’s Best Graduate Schools” issue in the category of “medical specialty: pediatrics.” Last year the department was in eighth place on the survey, which is calculated using a three-year rolling average.
“The way the scores are calculated makes it very difficult to move up each year,” says Dr. Bruder Stapleton, chief academic officer and senior vice president. “But the Department of Pediatrics has been in the top 10 for 15 consecutive years and consistently rising one spot for each of the last three years,” he says.
The UWSOM was also ranked seventh in the nation overall this year, and first for family medicine and primary care.
