What type of students the schools look for

Hi everyone, I have a question concerning which schools I should apply to

I know that some med schools are more research-oriented, while other schools have special primary care programs for their graduates to enter once they receive their degree. Each school has different goals for their grads: some teach for their students to go into academic medicine, some teach future doctors that work in underprivileged communities, etc.

I'm looking into the volunteer/humanitarian aspect of medicine (eventually help out abroad/do Doctors without Borders) and I was wondering where I could find information about which schools do what.

Hope my question made sense..it's kind of hard to phrase things after doing so many practice MCAT questions 😳

Thanks! 🙂

i could be wrong but two schools that stuck out at me (not to say they are zero research because there is very obviously incredible research opportunity at these places), were University of Chicago and Boston University for kind of underprivileged health...look into those
