Yes - In addition to UofP & related sites' claims, before I posted the above, I also "asked jeeves" and saw several PA websites which indicate that the state boasts the oldest med school.brucecat said:i think it's upenn--at least that's what they claim

then columbia, although columbia claims to have granted the first degree in the colonies
then harvard was est. in 1782
then dartmouth in 1798
then brown in 1811 but the med school was closed in 1827 and not reopened until the 1970s
