Admissions Admission is the final process for students who want to start their career in medicine. They should have complied with all the institutional requirements and have been recommended by the School’s Admissions Committee. Pursuant to institutional policies, the San Juan Bautista School of Medicine does not discriminate based on place of birth, gender, ethnic group, age, color, origins, social status, physical handicaps, political or religious beliefs, sexual preferences, or civil status. We believe in the integrity of the human beings and their freedom to decide the field of action in which they want to perform. All applicants are equally evaluated, taking into consideration their academic and personal qualifications. The analysis includes their academic achievement, basic studies required to enter the program and the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) score. The motivations to study medicine, leadership qualities, ability to relate to other people and solve problems, and their participation in community and scientific activities will also be considered. Counseling and Advising Services The Counselor has the main responsibility of providing counseling services to students, individually or in groups, with the intention of helping them identify and deal with situations that may affect them, and that in some way may adversely affect their academic progress and personal development. The counselor may refer particular cases to the faculty or to other specialized professionals. Also, faculty members have been identified as mentors, who counsel students regarding problems related to the evolution and increasing complexity of their academic program. The counselor interviews all students during the enrollment procedure, and complete a questionnaire as tool to identify personal and life issues, including recognized disabilities with impact in the academic life and define a psychosocial profile. The Counselor’s Office offers the following services to the students: • Coordination of cultural activities • Coordination of workshops that assist students in achieving their personal growth • Service as a liaison between the students, faculty, and administrative personnel. • Provide information related to the USMLE steps and the Puerto Rico Board of Medical Examiners and the dates of the Board Examinations. • Provide information in regarding disciplinary actions.
