Which Top LAC's are great for pre-med?

Anonymous
My DS, who is very interested in a pre-med track, is starting to put together a college list. I am trying to help him build a list of schools that have strong pre-med programs. He is potentially interested in LAC's and I found the comment below from another thread interesting. The comment was:

"For our family, the answer was easy: a top liberal arts college, undergrad research first semester, shadowing and hospital internships during the school year, outside college research afterwards and a Goldwater fellowship."

My limited understanding is the trade off of going to a top LAC is that research, shadowing and hospital internships opportunities can be limited. Often that is a function of those schools not being located near hospitals/medical centers.

Can anyone share LAC's where there are opportunities to do undergrad research and shadowing and hospital internships during the school year?

Thanks.

All of the top LACs have excellent med school admissions rates. Shadowing and internships for pre med kids are well supported.
