The thesis performance per professor at the YU School of Medicine (Dean Kim Jong-yeon) was found to be fourth in the nation.
Recently, Medical Times analyzed the thesis performance of medical schools (excluding pre-med) released on the college information website, 'Academy Info'.
Upon examining the 'SCI/SCOPUS international thesis performance' per medical school throughout the nation, it was found that the thesis performance per full-time professor at the YU School of Medicine was 0.9238, which equates to fourth in the nation. The thesis performance per full-time professor was highest at Seoul National University Medical School at 1.5337, followed by Yonsei University Medical School at 1.2748 and Sungkyunkwan University at 1.0897. The top three were all universities in Seoul, and YU placed fourth out of the 45 medical schools (including professional medical graduate schools) throughout the nation.
