I could go on and on - administration is EXTREMELY insensitive and frustrating, nobody is rooting for you to succeed, lots of arbitrary rules, excessive requirements, and duty hour violations. It's overpriced and so many things are designed to scam you out of money continuously (they will fine you if your permit isn't displayed exactly correctly in the garage, after you already spent $300 on it; they will force you to buy a stethoscope for a marked up price from the UMKC bookstore; they will penalize you for not buying certain resources needed to succeed but will not provide any assistance despite tuition cost rising annually). There's no support whatsoever for students - mental health here is a JOKE. At least 75% of every graduating class is on at least one SSRI, the school actively penalizes you for days off and can deny them at their discretion. They expect you to request a single day off two months in advance, but your own schedule will not come out until a week before for multiple clerkships. Save your time and your money - go ANYWHERE else, do anything else, do NOT come here. There's a reason 10+% of people extend or leave annually. They're not stupid, they're just tired of being abused by a system set up for them to fail. Get out while you still can.

How approachable are faculty members?
What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?
-
Old - if you tour, they'll show you the newest additions, but the rest of the facilities do not match this at ALL.
How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?
What are rotations like?
-
Extremely hit or miss. Course coordinators can edit your grade "holistically". There's no understanding of mistakes or the fact that students also have lives.
How do students from this program do in the Match?
Any other information you want to share?
-
There's few research opportunities that actually lead to publications - you will have a hard time with any non-primary care field.
Success!
