Utah’s medical school is probably the only group that doesn’t like this

Don't like Utah, but this is silly thinking. Utah's med school is a top school

And it sounds like international students may get priority over local kids.

Calling Utah a “Top Med School” is silly. More like a “good med school.” But you are correct BYU won’t overtake them

This is true, their pretty good, but not as good as the locals in Salt lake

Utah's med school is not a "top school."

no worries, just misspeaking. I wasn't trying to say top 10, top 20, etc.

People in Utah have a problem with overrating Utah’s med school.

Mediocre to good. It isn’t a very good school only good.

Would Rice be considered in that rarified air?

Rice doesn’t have a med school.

Exactly. The only part that is true is that byu will accept some people Utah

BYU will surpass Utah in the quality of med students in only a few years if, and that is a big if, BYU accepts similar

Agree. I think BYU will have better students from day 1 if they don’t overthink

Losing the score on step 1 will hurt at the beginning as I feel BYU students would do well on step 1 which would show

Utah is over-respected by Utahns because they don’t accept a lot of crazy smart

Also BYU will be doing this without their own hospital.

Just the opposite. The announcement said that research will be a large component

This is correct. It would be relatively easy for BYU to start a med school that runs like many DO schools where you

My guess is they’ll use Utah Valley as their base hospital and core 3rd/4th year

Delicate Genius

UVH just lost most of their Peds. No PICU, Peds Surgeon, or most subspecialties. Large and active NICU, but everything

Yllage Vidiot

BYU will heavily influence that hospital now I bet.

This will be huge. UVH will have to expand.

Announcement specifically mentions collaboration with U of U medical school

NYC and Japan

My hope is that it, at least, gets Utah to be a bit less

CougarLegend

I don’t think it will mind. I think BYU’s medical school will be another collaborating partner for it.

Especially because it was told by BYU that BYU had no plans for a medical school

Infrastructure and faculty are going to take a long time to build.

The issues you mention affect residencies more than medical schools (I know they are one and the same in most cases).

The reality is med school serves two purposes. One is

Who cares. It's a good thing to have two good medical schools in this state.

I'll bet BYU med students will know the difference between men and women
