All You Need to Know About the New Frist College of Medicine

Let's learn about the newest medical school in the United States in this interview with Dr. Caleb Marsh, the Director of Recruitment and Pathway Programs of Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. In this conversation, Dr. Marsh details the program’s offerings and highlights the whole person approach at the core of the curriculum. He invites applicants to join on the exciting journey and play a part in shaping the program.

13:47 If somebody were to apply to Frist between now and February 29th, would they be at a disadvantage since it's so late in the cycle?
