Yale School of Medicine is ranked in Tier 1 for U.S. News “Best Medical Schools: Research,” which means it is in the highest-performing group rather than given a single numeric rank. Brown’s medical school, the Warren Alpert Medical School, does not appear in the available ranking results I gathered, so I can’t verify a current comparable rank from this data.

Yale

Yale School of Medicine earned Tier 1 status in the 2026 U.S. News research rankings. Yale also reported strong NIH funding performance, ranking 4th in the U.S. for total NIH funding in 2025.

Brown

I don’t have a verified current ranking for Brown Medical School from the available sources in this result set. Brown’s medical school is usually discussed in terms of research reputation, but for a precise rank I’d need a source that specifically lists it in the same ranking system.

Simple takeaway

  • Yale: Tier 1 / top research group.
  • Brown: no confirmed ranking found in the retrieved results.
