The Essential Guide to Choosing the Right Medical School for You

With medical school decisions coming out, I thought I would share my thoughts on How to Decide which Medical School is Right for You

Every person has their own set of values but if you know ahead of time what they are, it will make applying to and choosing a medical school to attend much easier.
