The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine is smaller in size than many of the very large institutions and this is a huge advantage for students. You cannot come to this medical school and be anonymous. You will be known – not just by your classmates – but by the faculty and housestaff as well.- Holly Humphrey, MD '83 Dean for Medical Education
