<p>Actually curmudgeon, there are more Bachelor/MD programs than just the one at Texas Tech:</p>
<p>JAMP program: <a href=“http://www.texasjamp.org/[/url]”>http://www.texasjamp.org/</a></p>
<p>Baylor College of Medicine – Houston, TX
[Bacc/MD</a> Programs - Medical School - Baylor College of Medicine](<a href=“http://www.bcm.edu/medschool/baccmd.htm]Bacc/MD”>http://www.bcm.edu/medschool/baccmd.htm)</p>
<p>The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center College of Medicine – College Station, TX
[Partnership</a> for Primary Care - Texas A&M Health Science Center](<a href=“Texas A&M College of Medicine”>Texas A&M College of Medicine) - but based on the website, you’re not held to primary care but must “have a legal residence in a rural or underserved area, or health profession shortage area as defined by the Health Professions Resource Center Texas Department of Health”</p>
<p>University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston – Galveston, TX
[EMSAP</a> @ UTMB](<a href=“http://www.utmb.edu/emsap/]EMSAP”>http://www.utmb.edu/emsap/)</p>
<p>University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio – San Antonio, TX
[The</a> University of Texas Health Science Center - School of Medicine](<a href=“http://som.uthscsa.edu/Admissions/earlyMatriculationProgram.asp]The”>http://som.uthscsa.edu/Admissions/earlyMatriculationProgram.asp)</p>
<p>
“Generally available” is a key phrase in my post, as is “no interest in primary care”. Those are by not by my definition “generally available” (except Rice/Baylor or Baylor/Baylor, programs at private schools which I should have mentioned as I “know” somebody in both). </p>
<p>I also should have made myself more clear.</p>
<p>It’s a great list anyway.</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, why is she not applying to the TTU Med schools?</p>
<p>I’m a Texas resident, and as such plan to use our system of medical schools to my advantage. Hopefully.</p>
<p>Their emphasis on primary care. She read the mission statement and didn’t feel comfortable trying to craft an essay that matched it. I think it also spoke to serving the needs of the West Texas community which is something she doesn’t plan on doing.</p>
<p>She didn’t apply to any school that did not have research somewhere in their mission statement. For a looooong time she was going MD/PhD. And it’s still possible that she will be one of those kids who applies into a MD/PhD. program while in med school. Her PS is research oriented, her significant honors and awards are research based, and she’s just a research oriented kid interested in “academic medicine” and presents herself as such. </p>
<p>Nothing against the school. She preferred TTU UG to UT or A+M. It was her financial safety. And she liked the med school facilities just fine (from the perspective of a high-schooler).</p>
