<p>Please help me on finding good colleges for pre-med (well Im not necessarily planning on taking pre-med though) with fabulous research and volunteer opportunities. It'd be even more fabulous if they have a hospital right next to them.</p>
<p>I know Uni. Rochester and Macalester are good for future doctors.
NOt to mention JHU... and and Ivies... But anything else?</p>
<p>Many (most?) large universities have associated hospitals.</p>
<p>UW Madison and Pitt (polio vaccine) for two. </p>
<p>Frank</p>
<p>U of Rochester
Syracuse U
Rice</p>
<p>Emory- it has a hospital and the CDC</p>
<p>University of Michigan's hospital is well incorporated into the campus. There are first year dorms right across the street.</p>
<p>University of Washington is good for med, albeit very competitive. Also a big research school because of the almost unlimited Bill Gates/Paul Allen funding.</p>
<p>i'm not sure how good their programs are, but I know that the University of Pittsburgh and Case Western both have hospitals right next to them</p>
<p>this is good for me 2 not b/c of premed but I have to be w/ in good distance of a hospital b/c of medical reasons! yupp I can stay w/in 5-6 hours(Medical reasons 2!) and have to be w/ in 20 minutes(preferably less) of a hospital!</p>
<p>Pitt has about 5 hospitals within its campus, including Children's, and others specializing in cancer studies, eye/ear/throat and ob/gyn. They are currently building a huge biomedical reasearch tower as well.</p>
<p>Case is connected to the University Hospitals System - great cancer research going on there.</p>
<p>Rice is across the street from Texas Medical Center - with the Anderson Cancer Institute.</p>
<p>All are great programs.</p>
<p>My soph. year at Pitt I literally lived next door to a hospital in Lothrop Hall...I used to joke that I could fall out of the window into the hospital if need be :)</p>
<p>On a serious note...Pitt was a great area with as they said lot of hospitals nearby. Presby, Veterns, Childrens, and Magee Women's were on campus (Veterns nearly off-campus though). </p>
<p>My only problem with Presby was with my first ER visit ever (and only so far thank God!). I was just outside the city limits almost at my internship location in an industrial park when I hit a deer (well it hit me...went through my windshield and landed on my head!). I suffered a major eye trauma and had to go to the clinic for check-ups for a few months after my accident. </p>
<p>The main problem I had with them is that they prescribed me a medication that my normal eye doctor told me they should have been keeping a closer eye on me because it can have an affect on your heart rate especially with my high dosage (may slow it down...). That was the main thing that scared me about Presby was that the eye doctors tended to be rushed and didn't tell you the whole story...</p>
<p>The positive part of the experience was that after my ER visit I was discharged at about 1 AM with no corrective lenses (my contacts were obviously ruined and one of my eyes was swollen shut anyway), so I was really scared to walk to my off-campus apartment without having...you know...vision! So...they ER staff called up the U Pitt Police and they picked me up and delivered me safely to my apartment!</p>
<p>Overall Pitt has a great med program and is a great place to go to school...but I'm a little wary of their eye doctors ;)</p>
<p>Rice University is located next to the Texas Medical Center, which has 13 hospitals located in within it, as well as 2 medical schools. It's the largest medical complex in the world. Research and volunteer opportunities are endless there. My son, who is a h.s. junior now, got a paying job this past summer as a research intern at MD Anderson Cancer Center in the Department of Biostatistics and Applied Mathematics. It was an invaluable experience for him (and they had him doing real work).</p>
<p>Pitt is good, and doesnt Ohio State have one that is well incorporated with them?</p>
<p>UVA</p>
<p>we have a HUGe hospital right next to the campus. i mean "ground".</p>
<p>Florida Hospital College in Orlando, Florida has a hospital (Florida Hospital) right next to it, and i hear the program is really good</p>
<p>UCLA: Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center</p>
<p>UMich.. huge hospital right on campus, and tons of volunteering opportunities</p>
<p>Duke Med Center is at one end of Duke's campus.</p>
<p>U of M (michigan) ann arbor - the place is like a freaking city.</p>
<p>Georgetown.</p>
<p>U Chicago......</p>
