Mr. Joel Daboub is the Director of Admissions and Records at the Dell Medical School. Dell Medical School is a relatively new medical school coming on the scene in Austin, Texas. Mr. Daboub provides listeners with an interesting history of how the Dell Medical School was established and how it has influenced their mission. Not only does Mr. Daboub give us some detailed insight into their admissions process, including some innovative approaches, but he also provides an easy to understand breakdown of the TMDSAS application process. While they accept primarily residents from Texas, much of the material discussed in this episode about the application process can be applicable to any medical school applicant.
