Doctor of Medicine (MD)

The goal of the Renaissance School of Medicine is to prepare students to meet a major need of society: the improvement of health care and its delivery. The Committee on Admissions seeks to select not only the most competent among the applicant pool, but those who will devote themselves to a life of scholarship and service, those who will make a difference in the lives of their patients and in the way medicine is delivered, and those who will continue the commitment to excellence that will be apparent in their applications.

Consideration of a student's intellectual and academic qualifications as well as qualities such as motivation, integrity, social consciousness, maturity, interpersonal skills and other evidence of promise for the field of medicine will be among those qualities we seek to evaluate. The diversity of the student body is an important objective, and we will strive to accept a class which is representative of a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and academic interests. A major effort will be made in the selection process to include candidates from under-represented ethnic and economic groups.
