How this list is made
- We read the website AAMC lists for each program (and its eligibility, application, FAQ and residents pages) once a week, following each site's robots.txt.
- Sentences are quoted word for word with a link to the page they came from. We do not rewrite or guess.
- A program that is missing may still qualify: many websites do not state their rules, and some cannot be read automatically. Always confirm on the program's own page before you apply.
