RUUM - Rural and Urban Underserved Medicine

• The Rural and Urban Underserved Medicine (RUUM) Track is an early acceptance program that tracks gifted undergraduate students into the U.F. College of Medicine (COM) M.D. Program. The goal of the program is to recruit and enroll undergraduate Juniors who are academically excellent and who can demonstrate a sincere interest in rural or urban medicine and in practicing medicine to underserved populations.

• RUUM is a 4/4 (eight year) B.S. or B.A./M.D. degree program offered by the U.F. College of Medicine.

• This pilot program will enroll up to 6 new students per year. If accepted to this program, a student secures a place in medical school as long as program requirements are completed and academic standards and Honor Code policies are maintained. Those accepted do not have to take the MCAT.
