i posted this on the allopathis forum as well...

aside from albert einstein, can anyone suggest any med schools that would work well with an orthodox jew's schedule? (ie no friday classes past 3, during rotations, the ability to have saturdays off, maybe even holidays such as rosh hashanah and yom kippur off...) i'm specifically looking for schools in the northeast, but i'd me more than happy to consider any school that would work with my observance.
thanks.

This may prove difficult, particularly during the clinical years...but I'm guessing most schools will at least try to accomodate you.
 
Mount Sinai would be another one.
 
Washington University in St.Louis has a decent proportion of Jewish students. I don't know about accomodations they will make but you're likely to run into similar students. Peace.AEKDB.
 
Your best bet would be to stay in the Northeast, maybe also University of Chicago. What other schools have pretty big jewish populations?
 
U Penn is predominantly Jewish too, might want to look into that school.
