University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine will no longer participate in U.S. News & World Report’s medical school rankings, joining a growing list of institutions rejecting the rankings.
People walk by the Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago on Aug. 18, 2022, in Chicago. The school will no longer participate in U.S. News & World Report’s medical school rankings, joining a growing list of institutions rejecting the rankings.
“This decision is based on our judgment that the current methodology raises deep concerns about inequity perpetuated by the misuse of metrics that fail to capture the quality or outcomes of medical education for those who most need these data: applicants to medical school,” said Dr. Mark Anderson, medical school dean, and Dr. Vineet Arora, dean for medical education of the Biological Sciences Division and Pritzker School of Medicine, in the memo.
Meanwhile, the medical school at Chicago’s Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago is backing away from the ranking system. The school’s leaders decided in the fall to stop filling out the U.S. News survey, said Dr. Archana Chatterjee, dean of the university’s Chicago Medical School.
U.S. News also has a separate ranking, in which medical schools are judged for their ability to train primary care doctors. University of Chicago’s medical school ranked 30th on that measure, Northwestern’s ranked 43rd, University of Illinois ranked 61st and Rush ranked 71st. “As unintended consequences, rankings create perverse incentives for institutions to report misleading or inaccurate data, set policies to boost rankings rather than nobler objectives, or divert financial aid from students with financial need to high-scoring students with means in order to maximize ranking criteria,” Daley wrote.
