Thank you! I used a lot of the previous school lists & WARS to make it currently. Any schools you would remove or add?You have a good list and should receive several interviews.
From what you are describing you want to find schools that can help you with health innovation technologies and entrepreneurship since that's not going to be what you'll learn predominantly in medical school. I'm not sure why you can't just go for a master's in health innovation or public policy. (Coursera class: Health Care Innovation ). Have you talked with any health tech developers in the areas you say you are interested in, and what do they suggest regarding medical school? Health policy is a very critical area where you can make the impact in implementing these technologies safely and within regulations.I am interested in primary care & internal medicine and the way that care is delivered today. I would love to attend a school that allows me to pursue my interest in primary care delivery through research, policy & innovation programs as digital (e.g., remote patient monitoring, advanced models), alternative payment models (e.g., value-based care) & accessibility (e.g., allowing people with mobility, sight/ hearing impairments to access care). As I have read many of the schools mission statements, it seems to loosely align but don't know if you have some more than others that are better

Of course to that end, Hopkins, Michigan, Stanford are the usual schools based on the strengths of their medical schools, business schools, and ties to local tech and intellectual property. Frankly most of your brand-name universities will do that. I just want to be sure that you will do well enough doing medical school things that will not feed into your interests for the mandatory preclinical portion of the curriculum. In the end you will need to be trained as a resident if you were to continue along that route as a physician. (Of course, you can choose not to and go entrepreneurial. Find out which schools support you there.)
