The Geisel School of Medicine is the graduate medical school of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire and the fourth oldest medical school in the USA founded in 1797 by New England physician Nathan Smith. It is one of the Ivy League medical schools out of seven.

The founder of the Geisel School of Medicine also known as Dartmouth College of medicine was Nathan Smith, a Harvard University and University of Edinburgh Medical School educated physician from Cornish, New Hampshire.

It is one of the most competitive and highly popular medical schools in the world. The curriculum for a regular MD degree which is equivalent to MBBS in India takes four years to complete. First years of the degree focus on anatomy and biomedical science, and students start a two-year program in clinical studies. In second year is all about pathophysiology, and their third year is divided in six 6-8 clerkships with various medical institutions. In final year, Geisel School of Medicine students take on more clerkships (most of the time with specialty) and prepare for their residency program after graduation. Students also have to complete minimum 12 weeks of electives in their last year.

Dartmouth College hosts several notable events for students, like the White Coat Ceremony in which beginning medical school students receive their first white coat and the Transition Ceremony, where they can acknowledge the end of their first two years.
