The Geisel School of Medicine ushered in a new academic year by welcoming 92 new medical students to campus this week for orientation. The Class of 2022 brings with it diverse backgrounds and experiences, as well as a record of academic achievement and service around the world.

“It’s wonderful to welcome this new class of medical students to Geisel,” says Duane Compton, dean of the medical school. “I know that our faculty and staff are eager to work with them to help nurture and advance their aspiring careers in medicine.”

The 92 students, including 90 MD and two MD/PhD students, represent a small percentage of the more than 6,500 who applied to Geisel via the American Medical College Application Service.

“Once again, we are excited to have an entering class that is so accomplished and ready to begin their professional training here at Geisel,” says Greg Ogrinc, senior associate dean for medical education.
