<p>Remember that Florida will be opening two new med schools in the next 1-2 years (FIA and UCF) and U of M has a new program via its partnering with FAU. And FSU is expanding its program that used to feed students to UF, converting over to a full med school. If you finish in the state of Florida, you may have an easier time getting into a state med school. Now, the new programs are new, and have little in the way of "reputation," but will open up total number of slots in the state. And with Scripps coming to Florida (Abocoa in Jupiter and it has signed agreements with 4 univeristies re: research ventures) and Burnam following shortly, it wont be long before there is a new research triangle in Florida--probably between Gainsville, Orlando and West Palm/Jupiter. OK, a funny shaped triangle, but a triangle none the less. There will be lots of opportunity in Florida. Scripps is looking to partner with a hospital, Burnam is being wooed heavily by UCF and the area where the new med school will be build. </p>
<p>Stay tuned.</p>
