medical college

Physician training institution

A medical college is an institution that trains students to become physicians, typically granting MD or DO degrees.

The term is sometimes used interchangeably with medical school, though medical college may emphasize the institution's independent status rather than its place within a larger university: She was accepted to three medical colleges.
