Overview
The College of Medicine welcomes applications from students who demonstrate the personal and intellectual characteristics expected of physicians including compassion, character, leadership and excellence. Out of over 2,800 completed secondary applications, 135 matriculate into the final class.
There are two routes of admission to the University of Florida College of Medicine:
-
Regular Admissions – Applicants who have or will have at least a B.A. or B.S. degree; this process includes the regular MD program, as well as tracks for the MD/PhD and MD/masters programs and the new Jacksonville Regional Medical Campus.
- Jacksonville Regional Medical Campus Admissions – Applicants follow much the same application process as Regular Admissions applicants, but must select “Other Special Program” in AMCAS as their UF COM apply type and complete an extra secondary essay describing their particular interest in completing their clerkship phase years (3&4) fully at the Jacksonville Regional Medical Campus.
-
Transfer/Advanced Standing Admissions – 3rd year rising transfers are considered from a Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accredited medical school. The availability of transfer spots is rare.
