Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) is the medical school of Dartmouth College, located in Hanover, New Hampshire, in the United States. The fourth-oldest medical school in the United States, Dartmouth Medical School was founded in 1797 by New England physician Nathan Smith and grew steadily over the course of the 19th century. In the early 1900s, it was forced to cease granting the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. After further problems in the 1950s, the clinical M.D. program was reinstated and the school returned to national prominence for its academics and research. Several milestones in medical care and research have taken place at DMS, including the first clinical X-ray (1896), the first intensive care unit (1955), and the Brattleboro rat (1961).

    Today, Dartmouth Medical School continues to grant the M.D. and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) degrees, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) and Master of Science (M.S.) degrees. The school has a student body of about 620 students and more than 2,300 faculty members and researchers. As part of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, DMS organizes research through over a dozen research centers and institutes, receiving more than US$100 million in grants annually. DMS is one of seven Ivy League medical schools and is ranked as a "top medical school" by U.S. News & World Report for both primary care and biomedical research.

    Dartmouth Medical School is accredited by the Liaison Council on Medical Education.  None of the residencies programs of Mary Hitchcock Medical Center, which are administered by Dartmouth Medical School faculty, are on probation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

    For 2009, Dartmouth Medical School was ranked by U.S. News & World Report as 13th on the "Top Medical Schools - Primary Care" list and 31st on the "Top Medical Schools - Research" list.  The magazine also ranked the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center on its "America's Best Hospitals" lists for gynecology (#34), cancer (#36), and digestive disorders (#50).
