Rebecca Davis ’13 is a Spanish major who is looking forward to a career in emergency medicine. She has already been accepted at George Washington University School of Medicine based on her exceptional grade point average and stellar academic success.
In the first video, Davis shares how R-MC’s Pre-med program helped prepare her for applying to medical school and why her fluency in Spanish makes her unique in the medical field.
In the second video, Davis shares her experiences during a recent medical mission trip to Honduras. She was instrumental in helping the team to communicate with the patients because she speaks Spanish so well. Her father, Dr. Stephen Davis ’77, led the mission trip. He is a cardiologist in Danville, VA.
Randolph-Macon College currently has partnerships with three regional medical schools. Faculty and advisors work closely with students interested in health-related careers and provide them with the support, guidance, and academic and clinical l experiences they need to gain acceptance into medical school.
A BS/MD joint degree agreement between Randolph-Macon College and Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) allows as many as four qualified R-MC students to receive guaranteed admission to EVMS. An Early Selection Program agreement with the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences will give qualified, second-year students the opportunity to gain a provisional acceptance to the medical school at George Washington. Lastly, a Preferred Applicant Track Agreement with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) will accept two qualified, second-year students annually. Accepted R-MC students who maintain a 3.5 overall GPA and a 3.4 science GPA, and are in good academic and professional standing, will receive a formal offer of admission to the VCU School of Medicine.
