Like The Blues Brothers, we’re on a mission. Our mission is to bring you more med admissions insight. In this episode, I’m joined by my very special guest, Dr. Leila Amiri, the Assistant Dean of Admissions & Recruitment at the UIC College of Medicine. Dr. Amiri is an absolute expert in admissions. Not only do we discuss all things UIC COM, including some of their unique features in having multiple campuses and their Rural Medicine programs but also we answer listener questions about Letters of Recommendation.

Dr. Amiri’s Recommendations:
Charlatan by Pope Brock
A marvelous portrait of a boundlessly audacious rogue on the loose in an America that was ripe for the bamboozling.
The Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro
Thirteen works of art worth today over $500 million were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. It remains the largest unsolved art heist in history, and Claire Roth, a struggling young artist, is about to discover that there’s more to this crime than meets the eye.
The Double Helix by James D. Watson
By identifying the structure of DNA, the molecule of life, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry & won themselves a Nobel Prize.
