<p>I’m looking for more information on colleges near major hospitals anywhere in the U.S. Right now the only one I know of is Rice University.</p>
<p>Duke is near Duke medical center (actually, the campus surrounds it on every side)</p>
<p>Pre-meds can shadow physicians and work on research over the school year or over the summer. Of course, before getting involved with the cooler research you usually need to have taken Orgo and some intermediate chemistry, so probably after 3-4 semesters.</p>
<p>Sort of like Rice, which I can’t envision being much different. Or any top school with a top medical school/hospital combo near it.</p>
<p>George Washington has George Washington University Hospital which is where politicians are treated.</p>
<p>Just look at the colleges that are in major cities like NYC, Washington, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, etc.</p>
<p>Such colleges range from Boston U, Harvard, Simmons, Northeastern (all in Boston) to Loyola, University of Chicago, University of Ill-Chicago Circle to UCLA, Emory, Georgia State, U Penn., Temple, Fordham, NYU, Georgeton, George Washington, American U. etc.</p>
<p>There are hundreds of colleges near hospitals.</p>
<p>Case Western…right by one of the best hospitals in the world</p>
<p>But I’ve got to ask, why would you pick a college on the basis of how close it is to a hospital? If you do volunteer work at a hospital during the summer you will be fine. They aren’t looking for people with the most hours volunteered, but rather if you have had some clinical experience to see if you know what you are getting yourself into.</p>
<p>I’d also like to know why you are asking. Do you have a medical problem that you will need care for?</p>
<p>Stony Brook has its own hospital right next to campus and its one of the best in the nation</p>
<p>University of Rochester’s medical center is right next to campus.</p>
<p>I’m asking because I read that if you go to a college near a hospital you have a better chance of getting into their medical school.</p>
<p>That is nonsensical, especially as many colleges near hospitals do not have medical schools at all, or their medical schools are in a different location.</p>
<p>Sweet Josephine, you are misinformed. Proximity is irrelevant. The only advantage you conceivably have is that you may have the opportunity to establish a relationship with a professor who might have some say in medical school admissions. That’s a lot of "maybe"s, "might"s and "if"s.</p>
<p>Medical schools are interested in what you do in undergrad - grades, MCATs, etc., not in how close you are to a hospital.</p>
<p>Hundreds of schools have their own hospital, some of which are on the main campus (UW Madison, for example) and some of which are on a different campus but still affiliated with the school (Hopkins, for example).</p>
<p>But certainly don’t pick schools just cuz they have hospitals. Idk where you read that, but it doesn’t really make any sense…</p>
<p>I was googling information about what it took to get into medical school and that was one of the suggestions… glad to get it cleared up. =)</p>
<p>I think what it may have been suggesting is that some sort of work or interning in a hospital during undergrad might be beneficial, and there would be easier access to this if a hospital was near the school. That I could understand.</p>

<p>The Medical center at the University of Chicago is located on the same campus as the undergraduate campus. In fact some of the biology labs for the undergrads are located right next to the hospital and my child hears the medivac helicopters landing right next to her dormitory.</p>
<p>University of Pittsburgh has UPMC right there on campus with many specialty hospitals near by like the VA hospital and Magee Womens Hospital.</p>
<p>Columbia is also closely affiliated with St. Luke’s hospital and the medical school is close to campus as well.</p>
<p>Any in the Boston area are near tons of hospitals. U of Michigan has, what, 7 different hospitals adjacent to campus? At U of Iowa there is a good med school/hospital and not a lot of townies vying for bed space.</p>
