Drs. Medrano and Hollifield were star students
during undergrad and could have attended other
medical schools, but they chose the Kerkorian
School of Medicine, in part, because they received
generous scholarships. UNLV9s entire charter class
received scholarships as an enticement to attend,
what was, at the time, a brand new medical school.
Their decision was a wise one. Several graduates of
the charter class matched at prestigious programs
including Stanford, Yale, and Johns Hopkins.
At the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania,
many of the residents they interact with are from Ivy
League institutions, but Drs. Medrano and Hollioeld
feel like they ot right in.
