Maryland's blend of urban and rural areas will give a medical student exposure to patients of different backgrounds and many clinical presentations. Maryland's close proximity to Washington, D.C., and its various government institutions, also makes it an ideal location for those students interested in combining their interests in medicine with public policy, military or veterans' healthcare, and research.
