Because they will not be taking the MCATs, these students will have additional time for pursuing research, study abroad opportunities and rigorous liberal arts course work that matches their interests and ambitions.&rdquo;<\/p><p>The agreement was signed on Tuesday, July 28 by President Richard V. Hurley, Provost Jonathan Levin, and Dean Finkelstein, and goes into effect immediately.<\/p><p>Honors students interested in pursuing this opportunity will work closely with their academic advisors to meet the minimum requirements for application, both curricular and extracurricular.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m delighted to have worked on this agreement because it represents what both of our institutions recognize&mdash;that a rigorous liberal arts education provides the best preparation for a professional career,&rdquo; said Finkelstein.<\/p><p>&ldquo;We are delighted with this partnership,&rdquo; said Diane P. McQuail, GWU&rsquo;s assistant dean&nbsp;of Admissions for medical degree programs. &nbsp;&ldquo;UMW&rsquo;s Honors program provides students the ability to hone their academic, intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies defined by the Association of American Medical Schools as critical for success in the career of medicine.<\/p><p>For more information, contact Dean Finkelstein at <a href=\"mailto:rfinkels@umw.edu\">rfinkels@umw.edu<\/a> or 540-654-1052, or visit the GWU School of Medicine and Health Sciences <a href=\"http:\/\/smhs.gwu.edu\/academics\/md-program\/admissions\/joint-programs\/early-selection\">Early Selection&nbsp;website<\/a>.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Mary Washington and The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences have joined forces to streamline the process for UMW students to pursue medical school.
