Abraham Flexner's famous report, published by the Carnegie Foundation in 1910 and later credited with revolutionizing medical education in America, singled out Vanderbilt as "the institution to which responsibility for medical education in Tennessee should be left." The new school district was called "the best combined school and hospital to be found in the United States." The faculty of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine recognizes its responsibility to present candidates for the M.D.
As a convenience to the applicant, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine participates in the American Medical College Application Service. However, medical students may choose to apply for admission to the joint program at any time during their first three years of medical school. Law students who apply to medical school during their first year of law school may also qualify for the joint degree.

Many of the suggested courses will be taken in conjunction with candidates in the Master of Public Health program. Visiting students are permitted to register for coursework in the Medical School (if class space is available) with the approval of the appropriate department and with the concurrence of the course instructor and the Associate Dean for Medical Students. Completed applications must be received in the Office of Student Records at least eight weeks before the start date of the course.
There are currently several sources of funding available in support of scholarship awards, a privately endowed program and a special allocation of funds from the School of Medicine. Students approved for the Medical Scientist Training Program who do not receive financial support from any of the above sources may remain in the joint program at their own expense. Although not guaranteed, financial support can usually be obtained for the graduate stage of the M.D./Ph.D.
The flexibility of the fourth-year curriculum gives the student maximum opportunities for individual development. Psychiatry, first half of the semester; Introduction to biomedical research, second half of the semester. School of Medicine faculty have professional responsibilities at Vanderbilt, Veterans, Saint Thomas and Baptist hospitals.
Patients in these hospitals are cared for by members of the medical staff, assisted by intern and resident staff. All physicians at the VA Hospital are full-time faculty members of the School of Medicine. Graduate work in the medical sciences is regulated by the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program Executive Committee and the Graduate School faculty, and candidates must apply to the Graduate School registrar (see also Medical Scientist Training Program).
Master's work in this department is regulated by the PhD school's faculty. Upon registration, the student acknowledges the authority of the Student Honor Council of the School of Medicine. Students will normally take Stage 1 at the end of the second year and Stage 2 in the fourth year.
The school does not require students to pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) for advancement or graduation, but it is required for licensure. Successful completion of medical curriculum courses and school status are determined by the nature of the student's daily work; the results of examinations, which may be written, oral or practical; and observing the student in action. The medical school curriculum gradually builds on the tasks of each previous academic year.
Each subsequent year's courses require increasing levels of coordination and integration of the previously presented material. Therefore, thorough knowledge and understanding of each subject and the appropriate level of skill are required to maintain satisfactory progress in the medical curriculum. The summative assessment of academic performance for each subject is reported on the following basis:
