The first medical schools that granted the MD degree were Penn, Columbia, Harvard, Maryland, and McGill. Admission to US medical schools is highly competitive, with about 17,800 out of approximately 47,000 applicants receiving acceptance to a medical school. Before entering medical school, students must complete a four year undergraduate degree and take the Medical College Admission Test. In 2010, the Association of American Medical Colleges and American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine listed 161 accredited medical schools in the United States. Admission to medical school in the United States is based mainly on a GPA, MCAT score, admissions essay, interview, clinical work experience, and volunteering activities, along with research and leadership roles in an applicant's history. There are 661, 400 physicians and surgeons in the United States in 2008.
Permission granted for cache placement. However:
- You DO NOT need to be on school property.
- Be aware of office congestion & do not block traffic.
- Some office staff are aware of the cache but asking for hints or information is a waste of time because they do not know where the cache is unless they have searched for and found it.
- BYOP. Container should have a pen but be prepared with your own in case somebody forgot to put one back.
- Replace as found
- STEALTH REQUIRED HERE since this cache has been stolen TWICE.
- One final note: the doctor's office has closed. The future life of this cache will depend on the wishes of the new owner/manager/tenant of the property.
Congratulations to BullCityWarLord for FTF.
