As you have likely researched many medical school programs, their features/benefits, and curriculum, actual research on the institutions themselves can be overlooked by prospective medical students. Your interviewing team wants to ensure that you get all questions answered about their university before the end of your time with them.

One of the biggest draws of the University of Utah for me is the MD Ph.D. program. I'm interested in pursuing more than just patient care, primarily hands-on research. I want to combine my passion and interest in both research and medicine with helping others. To that end, I'd like to hear about how the program works and how those who graduate transition into research jobs or leading projects.
