What do you like most?
-
The sunny weather
-
Comradery and opportunity for hands on learning
-
The school is very responsive to the students' concerns. Whether it's curriculum or or daily procedures if enough students feel like something could be better the school will make changes. The professors and staff are quite vocal about their goal of helping students succeed.
What do you like least?
-
The unprofessional atmosphere, heavy curriculum that leaves little time for board prep, some exam questions are very subjective and culturally ignorant, PCP spends more time teaching you about how to talk to an LGBTQ+ patient than it does a Hispanic or native patient considering this school is 40 minutes away from the US-Mexico border. Lastly, faculty will tell you wrong information about dates/policy and it is your responsibility to not get tricked by faculty. Lastly, it is a for-profit school, so they obviously would prefer you take 5-6 years to complete the curriculum than to just do it in 4 years because that means more profit.
-
COVID is making a lot of the fun activities virtual, which is kind of a bummer but not a fault of the school
-
The school is still new and figuring out the best way to help students prepare for boards.

How approachable are faculty members?
What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?
-
If something were to happen to a student or faculty member within the school, the school itself is uncapable of treating a patient medically and they would have to be transported to a hospital, which is unfortunate.
How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?
-
I am not sure, many students take 5 years to graduate so I am not familiar with very many graduates.
What are rotations like?
-
I am not sure, apparently the students who come from Texas have no other choice but to go to the El Paso Hub but my friend was not informed of this prior to arriving.
How do students from this program do in the Match?

Mostly just pediatrics/Internal med
Any other information you want to share?

Success!
