You should not wait until you have been admitted to file the FAFSA. • You may estimate your 2009 tax information in order to meet the filing deadline. • Please be sure to update your FAFSA once your 2009 federal tax returns have been filed.

  25. Types of Financial Aid: • Institutional Scholarships • Institutional Loans • Federal Loans • Subsidized • Unsubsidized

(Thematic Pillars) • Enhanced meaningful patient-centered longitudinal clinical exposure. (P.L.A.C.E) • Increased use of self-directed learning and simulation.(Online learning modules and new state of the art simulation center)

  30. Curriculum for the 21st Century: Restructure of our medical school curriculum to 1.5 years Preclinical + 2.5 Clinical Years • Earlier clinical rotations allow flexibility for early exposure to career options • Offer flexibility for students to differentiate and pursue other areas of interest including a scholarly project (8-12 weeks) • Addition of “selectives” provide students with flexibility to customize their clinical experience (eg. radiology, palliative care, emergency medicine) • Offer flexibility for students to pursue a dual degree without requiring a fifth year Advantages:
