The Chicago Medical School is the medical school of the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. Founded in 1912, the Chicago Medical School has a nearly 100 year history of a broadly-based socially constructive admission process relatively unlike that of other medical colleges. In particular, "Chicago Med" admitted women and minority applicants decades earlier than most professionals schools. It delivered quality medical education to a wide range of students, by now numbering in the tens of thousands. It is fully accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.

The Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science has four-schools, The Chicago Medical School, the College of Health Professions, the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (SGPDS), and the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. University enrollment is approximately 1,500 students, faculty over 700, and hospital affiliates include the North Chicago Veterans Affairs Medical Center, John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, Mount Sinai Hospital, and Advocate Lutheran General Hospital.
