List of Medical Schools in Florida

It's no secret that doctors command some of the highest salaries in the country. Job opportunities for doctors show no signs of slowing; according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook for 2010-2011, jobs for physicians are expected to grow 22 percent between 2008 and 2018. A good place to go school and consider practicing may be Florida, which has a number of medical schools, a growing population and declining number of doctors, according to a 2007 article in the Gainesville Sun.

All students are required to have computer access and to have finished prerequisite courses in general chemistry, biochemistry, physics, organic chemistry and biology before admission.
