Vanderbilt is recognized as one of the leaders in research among medical schools in the United States. The faculty of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine acknowledges its responsibility to present candidates for the M.D. Students then enter the graduate school (Ph.D.) portion of the program after the second year of medical school.
Faculty at the School of Medicine have professional responsibilities at Vanderbilt, Veterans, Saint Thomas and Baptist hospitals. All physicians at the VA Hospital are full-time employees of the School of Medicine. Master's work in this department is regulated by the PhD school's faculty.

The school does not require students to take the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) for promotion or graduation, but it is required for licensure. Successful completion of the medical curriculum courses and scholastic status are determined by the nature of the student's daily work; the results of examinations, which may be written, oral or practical; and observation of the student in action. The medical school curriculum gradually builds on the course work 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:
