Graduate Schools" 2012 edition.
Small Class Size
All medical schools have classrooms, laboratories, research
facilities, faculty, and so on, but it's what we do with and for
our students during the four tough years they spend working
through their training here that we think really makes the
difference.
Quillen's small class size (72 students are
admitted each year) allows for a 1:1 student / faculty ratio.
Faculty members know students by name and are very interested in
the success of each student. They are able to devote extra time
to students who need help in mastering certain aspects of the
curriculum. Furthermore, the small class size fosters camaraderie
among the students, which tends to promote a nurturing
environment rather than a competitive one.
Diversity
At Quillen, diversity of people and thought is
respected. People come first, are treated with dignity and
respect, and are encouraged to achieve their full
potential. Quillen College of Medicine actively seeks
qualified applicants from all ethnic and minority groups and is
committed to a diverse population in the school and the practice
of medicine. Well-qualified minorities are encouraged to apply no
matter what their legal state of residence.
Quillen College of Medicine is fully
committed to the belief that educational opportunities should be
made available to all eligible persons without regard to age,
sex, color, race, religion, national origin, disability, or
veteran status. We are keenly aware of the need for diversity
among the health professions, and are sensitive to the societal
advantages of a diverse population of physicians.
Residency Placement
True to our mission, more than 60% of Quillen
graduates pursue careers in primary care
medicine. Quillen provides a strong background in both the
art and science of medicine, and graduates who wish to pursue
advanced training in specialty areas have a high degree of
success getting into the residency programs of their
choice. Quillen graduates currently enjoy successful
practice in nearly every medical specialty.
