Going to medical school is not an easy job. On your behalf, it requires a serious commitment and an involvement on all levels of the person, intellectual,financial and emotional. What is cost of medical education, the cost of obtaining a medical degree can be $300,000 at the most including living expenses. In fact, the average medical graduate accumulates as much as $100,000 in debt.
Medical school ranking is very important aspect for medical and health related students. In World, there are lot of medical schools which are known for world-class facilities, top-notch faculty and numerous research publications. However, there is no medical school, famous or not, who has a monopoly on providing an unbeatable medical education. Basically medical school ranking is separated into two lists.
1- best medical schools in terms of research
2-best medical school in terms of primary care
In Research category we have schools which show capacity to invest in and produce medical knowledge while primary care refers to the training of medical students regarding precisely that treating and caring of patient and primary care.
Before actually sharing the list of medical schools here it is important to mention that it is possible that some excellent medical schools may be missing in this list. You should keep in mind that it’s a matter of ranking and what characteristics are used to make it. It does not mean that if a school is ranked low in this medical schools list, the doctors coming from these schools are not good and qualified.

You ignore numerous other medical schools round the world, examples being those in Cambridge and Oxford. But you have good medical schools due to investment. But, the American Healthcare system fails loads.

Let me know if my facts are wrong, but please provide proof.`

Canada is the country to practise and further develop your skills. On average, Canadian Physicians do far much better compared to any doctors in the USA, Europe, or other regions of the World.

It is a fact the best schools are in the US with Harvard, U of Penn and John Hopkins leading the way because many nations such as India and China does not require would be doctors to get a graduate degree but are instead in medical school straight from high school.
Here is your list.

King Edward Medical University Pakistan
whats MSF?
Like Matt said – but those two are both in the US. If you specifically wanted to study medicine in the UK, probably the best is Cambridge. Bear in mind that medicine degrees work differently in the UK – over here medicine is an undergraduate degree.
Residencies are far more important in making good doctors, but the most prestigous schools are Harvard, John's Hopkins, U of Paris, Cambridge, and Bologna among many others. Residencies in the states make you stay 80 hours a week (used to be 100), with at least 12 hours off if you work 24 hours in a row, and at least one day off. Medical school varies with the course, but you tend to study at least 4 hours a day M-F outside of class. More on weekends.
I'm sure there would be British medical schools in the top 10, if there was such a list. There is really no point in doing so, because most schools don't accept non-citizens. I would assume Oxford or Cambridge would be up there. To go to Harvard or John Hopkins you need to be among the best in the US. Feel free to shoot for them, but don't be disappointed if you don't get in. Be proud if you even get into medical school. 40 thousand kids a year think they want to go to Harvard and JH, only 200 do. http://medschoolfordummies.blogspot.com gives you plenty of advice. Shoot for a 4.0 in college.
