The devotion the school has to improving the health of Detroit, especially to those who cannot afford basic health care

Most people would probably say the location. However, if you want to attend medical school in Detroit, you should be well aware of the problems in the city and you should have a desire as a future doctor to do something about it. Nothing really negatively impressed me.

nothing

What are your general comments?
