About the School

The Feinberg School of Medicine plays a significant part in the vibrant educational and cultural community of Northwestern University, an independent private institution founded in 1851. The Feinberg School—one of Northwestern's 11 colleges and schools—stands out among the nation's research-intensive medical schools. Consistently receiving high marks in U.S. News & World Report surveys, the medical school attracts smart, multi-talented, dedicated people as members of its faculty, staff, and student body.

The faculty of the Feinberg School now totals 4,134. Of these, 1,642 are full time, 200 part time, 1,442 contributed service, and 284 research. In addition, 233 emeritus, 198 adjunct, 1 visiting, 97 coterminous (an appointment given to chief residents, fellows, and others), and 37 clinical associates are included.

The University, primarily through the Feinberg School, is part of the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University, an academic medical center focusing on the three key missions of education, research, and clinical services. Other McGaw members are Children's Memorial Medical Center, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center. Medical students and residents receive some of their education at these hospitals, and nearly all attending staff members have faculty appointments at the Feinberg School.
