She is currently serving as the vice chair for the BA/MD Affiliate Group. Dr. Amiri, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk. Can you give us, to start, just a basic overview of the UI School of Medicine program focusing on its more distinctive elements? [2:15] Absolutely, we're one of the larger medical schools in the country. We admit 300 students every year to three different campuses. We're very mission driven in that the mission is to advance health for everyone with outstanding education, outreach, healthcare, research, and really with a focus of social justice and social responsibility at the core of what we do. What I really appreciate about our program is that we are so diverse, not only in the student body and the faculty, but also the programming that we offer. So we're able to offer, for example, urban focused healthcare programs all the way up to rural medicine focused programs. What's a common misconception about the University of Illinois College of Medicine that you would like to dispel? [3:03] I think because we are a multi-campus school I think sometimes students feel that the educational programming may be different on the different campuses. Once we implemented our new curriculum in 2017, we actually have standalone four-year medical programs on each of our sites with live instruction and curriculum that's delivered simultaneously and assessed simultaneously. Now, the feel of the curriculum will be a little different, obviously, because they're in different locations, but the educational experience is very similar. And the other thing that I want to point out is that we don't have a specific type of student that we're looking for. Because we are old and because we are big we like to welcome students to join us with whatever passions they have,
