rush medical college
chicago, IL
Rush Medical College has always been--at least in my mind--one of the top medical schools in the country for the education of men and women interested in working in the field of pediatrics. Rush Medical College is connected to Rush Children's Hospital which is one of the country's leading hospitals for the care of critically ill children and adolescents.

I extracted the most important information from the interview I conducted with Dr. Robert Kimura and created the above tables.
Personal reflection:
I have spent a lot of time in Chicago, IL and therefore, have heard a lot of positive things about the city's medical district. Rush Children's Hospital and Rush Medical College has also been at the forefront of medicine and education in medicine. Further research about the institution allowed me the opportunity to gather statistical information about the students. From the interview with Dr. Kimura, I realized how dedicated the school is to the care of all people and the special care of children. As a person who is interested in pediatrics, it was very reassuring for me to know that Rush Medical School shares my same passion for children.
