The New Orleans School of Medicine was a mid-19th-century private medical college based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded in 1856, the school closed temporarily in 1862 due to the American Civil War, after which it reopened until 1870. It served as a progressive rival to the Medical Department of the University of Louisiana and was regarded as one of the most innovative institutions in the antebellum United States, particularly for its pioneering use of clinical clerkships at Charity Hospital.
