Geisel School of Medicine - Campus

Campus

Dartmouth Medical School has facilities on the campus of Dartmouth College, which is situated in the rural, Upper Valley town of Hanover, New Hampshire as well as at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC).

The medical school facilities at Dartmouth College sit in a complex on the north side of Dartmouth's campus and includes academic, administrative, research, and presentation facilities. Dartmouth Medical School is served by two libraries, the Dana Biomedical Library and the Matthews-Fuller Health Sciences Library, which together offer over 240,000 volumes. Dartmouth Medical School offers on-campus housing for first-year students. Off-campus housing is available through Dartmouth College. In addition, the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center was completed in August 2011 at a cost of $92 million, and as part of its design a central lawn is surrounded by the Remsen and Vail Laboratories and Dana.

The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, centered in nearby Lebanon, New Hampshire, is the umbrella medical organization of which Dartmouth Medical Schoolis a constituent part. Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, DHMC's 396-bed inpatient facility, acts as the medical school's teaching hospital and "primary teaching site". DHMC's other constituent elements include the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic (a network of physicians in Vermont and New Hampshire) and a Veterans Affairs Medical Center in White River Junction, Vermont. In total, DHMC serves an area with a population of 1.6 million.

In addition to on-campus instruction in Hanover and Lebanon, third- and fourth-year M.D. students may choose from 75 regional sites for their required clerkships. Most clerkship facilities are located in central New England, although students are also able to clerk at sites in Alaska, Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Florida.
