I am confident that the University of Connecticut School of Medicine is a respectable medical school that can prepare me for my future professional career in medicine by providing exceptional opportunities for my medical education. My interest in this instution lies on its commitment for innovative medical education aiming to prepare its students for their medical career. Therefore, the medical curriculum of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, M delta, caught my eye when I was exploring medical schools to apply since it was unique and I was certain that it was an interesting way to learn medicine.

UT Southwestern Medical School was formed in 1943 in the Southwestern Medical District of Dallas, Texas. It started off as a small wartime medical college and since then has grown exponentially. It now provides care to almost 90,000 patients and oversees 2 million outpatient visits and is affiliated with four hospitals: Parkland Memorial Hospital, Children's Medical Center, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, and St. Paul University Hospital.

I am interested in the Summer Intensive Health Scholar Program because I want to get expose to the hospital’s environment while helping patients. I want to be able to see how to learn and cope with patients with different background and culture than my own. I know that different patients deal with their daily life problems differently, especially at the hospital. This is because the patients’ live can be at the most difficult time period since they are dealing with their illnesses and are trying to recover from them. I want to learn from the patients and use the knowledge and experience that I am going to learn to help preparing for my future career in the healthcare field. Also, I want to see how doctors, nurses, and other health care professions

The University says 80% of undergraduate students receive some form of financial assistance whether it be scholarships, student loans, or grants (Your place, 2017). Lastly, NWMSU is a very unique college in that they have all the textbooks you will need at the college. This is called the Textbook Rental Program and it saves students up to $7300 in the four years they are at the University according to Your Place to connect, (2015). NWMSU also offers free Wi-Fi, free cable, and free laundry for all students to be able to do homework and not have to worry about saving quarters to wash their clothes according to Your Place to connect (2015).

Its in-state educational cost and charges are $9,337 (2015-16); out-of-state educational cost and expenses are $21,037

If the school is too expensive to attend, financial aid and scholarships are offered. Financial aid must be applied for before December 15th, and it is given to first come first serve. Applicants are often also considered for scholarships such as Presidential scholarships, the Benacquisto Scholarship, Lombardi and Stamp scholarships, and the Southern scholarship for Florida residents which all offer money to academically committed students. There are also out-of-state scholarships offered to help reduce the price for students that don’t already reside in Florida. Money offered can be as much as $20,000 per year.

Next is the University of Missouri. Tuition for in-state averages $25,700, and out-of-state averages $35,00. U. of M. is also known for its school of journalism. Iowa State University tuition for in-state students is about $4,000 and $11,000 for out-of-state students. Also, Iowa State is known for their school of education.

    For out of state students, which is where I would fall under, the yearly tuition for UW is $34,791 and the overall cost for a year is $49,986. Although this is much more expensive than the in state tuition cost, the overall out of state cost to attend UW is not as expensive as out of state costs for other schools or private schools. The cost for housing and food, which is the equivalent of room and board, is an estimated $11,691 for students who live on campus and $14,625 for those who live off campus. It is much more beneficial to live on campus that off of campus in terms of expenses because not only is housing significantly cheaper on campus than renting an apartment off campus, but transportation

Upon matriculation, medical students are appointed to a faculty mentor who partners with them and a small cohort of peers longitudinally for the duration of their

Mayo offers a curriculum unparalleled to other schools primarily due to the several factors of the medical field combined into one single curriculum. The partnership between ASU and Mayo would help me be well-rounded in both the clinical and administrative aspects of medicine. Thus, allowing me to easily navigate through the healthcare system and focus on what is best for the patient. Focusing on giving quality care that is both attainable and affordable to all.  Being responsible for my learning experience through selectives will enrich my medical education with experiences that are not directly covered in the curriculum. The curriculum also pushes me to continue my passion for service, by encouraging community service that coincides with the school’s clinical education.

According to BYU’s website regarding the MSW program, it states that “our program takes 20 months of full-time study to complete. You will pay tuition five times.” With a tuition of $3,250 a semester for graduate students at BYU, I will need to pay a total of $16,250 of tuition. While the price for books and school supplies is not explicitly stated, I am estimating that it will be an additional $300 per semester, or $1,500 for the five semesters. This would increase the cost of attendance (COA) to $17,750.

Clinical Medicine was an overture of what was to follow for the next two years. It was an introduction to the various clinical clerkships, as well as the one and only course in medical school that concerned itself with such skills as taking a medical history, examining a patient, and applying the knowledge that had been gained over the past two years to the

In order to practice medicine in Russia, a medical graduate is required to take either one of the postgraduate training courses, namely internship for 1-year or residency for 2-3 years. (Resolution form the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation No. 23 dated 17.02.1993, “On approval of the regulations concerning clinical ordintura; Farmer RG, Sirotkin AY, Ziganshina LE, Greenberg HM. The Russian Healthcare system today: can American-Russian CME programs help? Cleve Clin Journal of Medicine 2003; 70 (11):937-7; 941-2, 944; Academic Medicine in Russia: Burger, Ziganshina et al). However, these training courses can be taken one after the other. But, in year 2012, the Ministry of Healthcare has abandoned the government funded residency program in internal medicine (Directive of the Ministry of Healthcare and Social Development No. 16-2/3041822-913). This has resulted in more medical graduates applying to the one year internship program. A general perception is that, after taking the one-year training, the graduates are not well prepared for
