School Info

Case is a leader in medical education and curricular innovation. Case has a new integrated curriculum of medicine and public health awareness. The new Case system of medical education emphasizes the interplays between the biology of disease and social and behavioral context of illness, the care of individual patients and public health, and clinical medicine and population medicine.

Curriculum

The University Program seeks to create physician-scholars who are leaders in science, practice and health care policy. Students learn primarily through small group discussions, large group experiences, lectures, interactive anatomy sessions, clinical skills training and patient-based activities.The learning process is supplemented by a rich array of electronic and Web-based resources. The environment encourages scientific inquiry and self-directed learning. Students are immersed in a graduate-school atmosphere characterized by flexibility, independent study and collegial interaction with faculty. Students complete in-depth, mentored research experiences based on their individual interests, with the goal of understanding the scientific process so that they may critically read and analyze scientific literature and know how to formulate hypotheses. These lifelong learning skills are essential in both clinical and research-oriented practices. All students also receive mentoring and career counseling as members of one of four academic societies.

Facilities

The Case School of Medicine is the largest biomedical research institution in Ohio, as measured by funding received from the National Institutes of Health, the country's largest funding agency of biomedical research. The medical school receives more NIH funding than all other Ohio medical schools combined and is in the top tier of all medical schools in the country in receiving such funding. For students, these facts translate into numerous opportunities to work side by side with investigators who are leaders in their fields.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"Maybe standardize the student tours a bit more. My tour was only 20-30 minutes long, whereas the other tour group got a full 50 minutes and I'm sure they saw a bit more." More from this Member | Report Response

"I think having an open interview format could help put everyone at ease...my interviewer even said she wishes the format had not changed and seemed reluctant to ask me questions because she didn’t like them. It was hard to build a rapport or have a real conversation when we were jumping around based on the interview sheet" More from this Member | Report Response

"One admissions officer emailed me back addressing me with a completely wrong name (though same first letter) after we had already been emailing back and forth. Felt impersonal, but I understand they're dealing with a lot of people and emails. I also strongly urge the admissions to tell the Case students who are eating lunch with interviewees to be professional and not to curse. It left me with a bad impression of the school and I did not feel inspired by one of the students because of how much she talked, completely overspeaking the other Case student at the table." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great job!" More from this Member | Report Response

"More options for breakfast." More from this Member | Report Response

"Open file for first interview with faculty, closed file for student interview. The questions were generally pretty conversational and nothing too intense. I think they really did just want to get to know you as a person/future physician, with one minor caveat: just because it's conversational, doesn't mean you should stop selling yourself. In fact, I would ensure that you work extra hard to sell yourself. Personally, I find that with interviewers that are super-nice, I have a tendency to assume, oh hey, we're all buddies and since we finished on such a happy note, I'm sure the interview went well. Make sure you leave that interview showing them *exactly* why you think you'd be a great fit at Case, and keep repeating that over and over, no matter how many laughs/giggles you guys share."

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
