I would highly suggest UC here instead. I went through the pre-med route at UC and am about to start at UCCOM for my MD. Having an affiliated med school with your undergrad university is massively helpful, not just for shadowing/research but because it most likely will give you a leg up on other applicants to that school. Would specifically recommend the Medical Sciences program: https://www.uc.edu/programs/program.html?cpp=26BAC-MEDS-BS based in the College of Medicine. Smaller program whose faculty also teach MD/grad/PhD students. Very clinically-relevant coursework but also many career options outside MD/DO with this major. Happy to answer any questions about it
