Top Medical Schools for Hispanics

The field of medicine is known to be one of the most challenging, as well as one of the most necessary in today’s society. All students embarking on this journey face a variety of hurdles; these are greater for those who come from lower-income backgrounds and are the first in their families to attend college, often correlated with belonging to under-represented, rural or recent immigrant communities. These students, who already struggle with access to higher education, find the entrance requirements, higher fees and longer duration of medical studies particularly daunting.
