Experience with social determinants of health and underserved communities. FIU's defining feature is NeighborhoodHELP, a longitudinal programme in which students are assigned to medically underserved Miami-Dade households and deliver primary, behavioural and social-work services, including via mobile health centres. The school describes its approach as socially accountable medical education, so an applicant who already works at the household or community level rather than only in clinics fits unusually well.

Watch out: A file with clinical hours but no exposure to the social side of care — housing, food access, language barriers — is thinly matched to a curriculum organised around exactly that.
