For context: I am incredibly interested in primary care and am interested in addressing disparities in healthcare, specifically would like to be involved in latinx communities as that is my background. Also, would like a school that emphasizes student wellness.
Tufts:
Pros:
Jefferson:
Cons:
Overall i don't think i can make a bad choice for myself, but just really conflicted because they're two amazing schools. Luckily, i am in a position where money is not too much of a deciding factor. I would like to match back to california, but both seem to give students that ability.
any and all opinions/advice/ets. are welcomed and appreciated!!
Tufts:
Pros:
- in Boston
- smaller class size than Jefferson
- P/F pre-clinical
- global health options in latin america both during the summer and then to 4th years
- has the opportunity to volunteer with Entre Mujeres which is something I really really like
- The HJSP program would be cool to participate in, but don't have info on how easy it is for students to be accepted into it
- expensive
Jefferson:
- P/F
- love how the curriculum is set up & the different threads students can choose for themselves
- they actually have a medical spanish program that allows you to go to colombia b/w 1&2 yr and then do an elective during clinical years - but dont actually know how many students get accepted into
- seems like that have a huge emphasis on community engagement and volunteering which is really important to me - being apart of JeffHope looks very rewarding and i like that there are a ton of options
Cons:
- big class size - don't know how to feel about this either
