U.S. News and World Report analyzed survey responses from 114 schools based on seven weighted indicators to calculate the medical school primary care ranking as a percentage. The indicators used in the primary care ranking model include a peer assessment score, an assessment score by residency directors, primary care rate, student selectivity, median MCAT total score, median undergraduate GPA, acceptance rate and faculty resources.
