Our Community
By the Numbers

Each year, we work with deliberate intention to create a balanced class, with every cohort making unique contributions to our collective mission and leadership legacy. We strive to maintain a balance between in-state and out-of-state residents so students can expect to rub shoulders with peers from all walks of life and, through these interactions, learn how to better relate with their future patients.
