Maryland medical schools
A Maryland medical school guide covering Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland, and the nearby federal Uniformed Services University — with program profiles, mission fit, and regional strategy.
Maryland has two MD programs physically located in Baltimore — Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the University of Maryland School of Medicine — plus the Uniformed Services University in nearby Bethesda, which requires a military service commitment. Maryland does not currently have a DO program physically located in the state. Match your academic record and experiences to each program's mission rather than treating Baltimore and DC-area institutions as interchangeable.
