Why I Chose UVa

"The Universityof Virginia stuck out not only as a place that is well-known for its academic excellence, but also its humanistic slant on training medical students.  I was fully sold when I came here and met the students and faculty who truly went out of their way to make me feel at home."   ~Jeff Vergales, 4th Year Medical Student

"The University of Virginia School of Medicine curriculum allows for a large amount of time in small group settings with clinical faculty members during the first two years of medical school, many of these faculty members have continued to serve as mentors for me during my final years of medical school."  
~Laura Leddy, 4^th Year Medical Student
