U.S. News & World Report has named the University of Nebraska Medical Center a Tier 1 institution for primary care training. In a shift from its former numerical rankings, the magazine now groups medical schools into four tiers. UNMC was one of only 15 institutions in the top tier for primary care training. Those institutions were in the 85th percentile or higher of medical schools ranked. UNMC also was named a Tier 2 institution for research. There are 16 institutions in Tier 1 and 36 in Tier 2, a ranking between the 50th and 84th percentile.
