Hello SDN, I need help here to see what are my chances for MD and DO programs based on what I have listed below.
My mission fit is to enhance healthcare access and outcomes for diverse and underserved communities as I feel all my experiences here line up along it. I would like a list of MD and DO schools that align with this mission fit and my stats.
