Depends on whether you are looking for clinical medicine or research.
IN reference to the Johns Hopkins response, it may be an incredibly high ranking medical school but its also infamous for having people that are incredibly egotistical, do not enjoy their lives, and are just plain nasty to one another.
My advice: Do your own research, put down the US News magazine, figure out what kind of clinician you want to be, figure out how YOU want to practice, and find the school that is best for you.
Some may say Johns Hopkins based upon its rankings in the popular magazine, US News and World Report.
- #1 Medical Center in the US for 18 years (US News Best Hospitals). - #1 NIH Grant Receiving Medical School (NIH Website).
- #1 Reputation Score (tied with Harvard Medical School) (US News Best Grad Schools). - Closely affiliated with the #1 School of Public Health and Bioengineering Program.
- Research ranking misleadingly a notch below HMS because of the cumulative funding of all of Harvard's hospitals (Mass General is the #5 hospital, Brigham and Women's the #8 hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess not ranked), which are each individually significantly inferior to JHU both clinically and academically. - Modern American medicine, and the threefold mission of research, education, and patient care were born at Johns Hopkins, as was the modern residency training system. Much of modern medical culture like "rounding" comes from Johns Hopkins (originally from the central rounded area beneath the Billings Dome). As Harvard's Mass General was nicknamed "Man's Greatest Hospital" by a Beth Israel (Harvard) intern in the 70's in a book prior to actual hospital scrutiny by US News, Johns Hopkins was so too named "God's Hospital."
- More Nobel Prize products in Physiology and Medicine than any other medical institution including Harvard despite having roughly 1/3 the faculty historically. - Birthplace of "modern" American Medicine (Osler), Surgery (Halsted), OB/GYN (Kelly), Pathology (Welch) (see The Four Doctors), and Pediatrics, as well as multiple subspecialties including CT surgery (a derivative of the Blalock blue-baby operations), Urology and Neurosurgery (to name a few).
- There is no more iconic hospital image in the world than that of the Johns Hopkins Billings Building. - Foreign diplomats and royalty flock to Johns Hopkins for treatment. Johns Hopkins Medical International network is the largest and most well-known and well-respected of its kind across the globe.
- In summary, there is no more gifted collection of clinicians and researchers on earth, and this is one of the few institutions well-known to be even better than Harvard for a given field.

No, you do not get paid. In fact the opposite is true: You pay a lot of money to go to med school.
No school, INCLUDING Harvard, combines college with med school. You still need your bachelors degree before you can go to med school ANYWHERE. Some schools may have programs where you can shorten the span from 8 years to 7 but no school combines them.
Yes, one of the top med schools in the country.
8 years :)

I'm a Med School student at the University of Pennsylvania. It is the second best med school in the country behind Harvard. You do not know what stress is. My finals start in 3 days. I am writing this in the library to take a break, I've been here for 12 hours.
Northwestern is a top notch school to go to, but really expensive, I mean majoring in Pre Med means you're taking a bunch of science courses, I would just do BA or BS in Bio, if you do good, maintain a decent GPA, your more than likely to go to any Med School you want to
it is the best school in the world I cant believe I actually go to this school it is brand-new and the best school in the world
