School Info

The University of Florida College of Medicine, largest of six colleges at the University of Florida Health Science Center, opened in 1956 with a mission to increase Florida's supply of physicians, provide access to the most advanced healthcare services available and foster discovery in science and medical care. Since graduating its first 40 medical students in 1960, as of 2002 the college has graduated approximately 4,000 physicians.

Curriculum

The College of Medicine's curriculum is competency-based. Prior to graduation, a student must demonstrate competence in six areas of training to satisfy all education requirements. Student performances in courses and clerkships are formatively assessed and summatively evaluated by level of mastery demonstrated in assigned competencies. Competency is the currency of the education program.

Facilities

The 750 bed Shands Hospital at the University of Florida has more than 25,000 in-patient admissions and 35,000 outpatient visits recorded annually. The Veteran's Affairs Medical Center, located across the street from Shands Hospital, serves military veterans in the north central Florida and South Georgia area. The 475 bed VA Hospital provides additional clinical and research resources. The UF Health Science Center at Jacksonville includes several hospitals as well as full time UF College of Medicine faculty thereby enriching the educational experience. The College of Medicine has affiliations with several community sites, including Shands at Alachua General Hospital in Gainesville, rural clinics and both primary care and specialty practices. Additional affiliations exist with the Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola and the Orlando Regional Medical Center in Orlando. These facilities provide ample opportunity for hospital-based bedside and ambulatory teaching.

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.
