History of the department
Established in 1807, the University of Maryland School of Medicine is the first public and the fifth oldest medical school in the United States and the first to institute a residency training program. The medical school includes Davidge Hall, which was built in 1812 and is the oldest building in the Northern Hemisphere in continuous use for medical education.[5] It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In the 1950s, it was named after founder and first dean John Beale Davidge.

The Medical School was ranked 33rd for primary care and 42nd for medical research in the 2007 edition of U.S. News and World Report medical school rankings. It admits 8.4% of applicants. [6].
