Hello everyone,
Currently waiting on post-II results, but until I get those, I am preparing for the worst which is a reapp. I applied to a few UC schools this year such as UCLA and it wasn't until I began filling out the secondary that I realized that they have a program called PRIME which focuses on working on training students not to just be physicians but leaders working towards addressing healthcare disparities in underserved communities in California and the US. Much of my volunteer work has focused on providing access to medical care to underserved communities, so after reading about the PRIME program I was quite inspired, however, UCLA for example has a strict 2 week turn around time for their secondary and as a result I didn't feel like I would have enough time to do further research on the program and write a quality essay. Now that I may have to reapply, I am looking at these types of programs as I feel like they align with my goals that I'd like to achieve as a physician and that my previous experience would be a good fit for a program. I know that there are many schools that emphasize community service, however, I am specifically looking for programs within the school like PRIME. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you for your help!
