The College of Medicine
The Drexel University
College of Medicine is the consolidation
of two venerable medical schools with rich and intertwined histories:
Hahnemann Medical College and Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania.
Established in 1848 and 1850, respectively, they were two of the earliest
medical colleges in the United States, and Woman’s was the very first
medical school for women in the nation.
The College of Medicine's main campus, Queen Lane, is in a suburban-like setting in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. Additional facilities are located at the Center City campus, which includes Hahnemann University Hospital. Our Pediatrics Department is at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, and Psychiatry is based at Friends Hospital. Students can receive clinical education at 25 affiliated hospitals and ambulatory sites chosen for commitment to teaching as well as medical excellence.
