I'm a rising junior majoring in Public Health with a potential minor in Anthropology. I look forward to applying to medical school after graduating college (taking one year off). This question may be more suited for those who have already experienced some medical school education:
How important is a medical school's mission statement?
For example, I'd like to attend a school that places high emphasis on community service and involvement. In applying to medical schools, I wouldn't necessarily disregard one for not mentioning service in its mission statement, but would it be fair to consider more closely those schools that do include community service as part of their mission statements?
This is probably a strange question, but I'm curious, especially since the mission statement of my undergraduate institution (University of Rochester) seems to come up daily in classes and the like.
Thank you kindly for your help!
