Virginia Tech Carilion School Of Medicine Inc

Programs: The virginia tech carilion school of medicine had a challenge selecting the 42 students who would enter this year (july 2016). The applicant pool for the class of 2020, at 4,611, was the largest in the school's seven year history. Members of the new class undergo an intensive orientation where they are being introduced to everything from the school's curriculum, learning environment, and academic standards to policies and procedures, financial aid, and student counseling. Next they start their regular class schedule, which is anything but ordinary. Students at the virginia tech carilion school of medicine participate in a unique problem based learning curriculum, which centers teaching in small groups based on real patient cases. Three of the new students graduated from virginia tech. Other schools represented included the university of virginia, which had seven students, the university of north carolina at chapel hill with four, the university of california berkeley with three, and the college of william and mary and johns hopkins each with two students. In all, 27 schools coast-to-coast were represented. A total of 94 colleges and universities have been represented by the school's seven admitting classes. Four new schools joined the list this year: clemson, southwest oklahoma state, the university of california irvine, and the university of california santa cruz.
