What do you like most?
-
Clinical rotations
-
I like that this school is close to family. The attendings that work at the school seem to be generally happy and nice. The facilities are nice enough.
-
Excellent organization; high resource availability; open administration
-
The physicians
What do you like least?
-
Classes
-
The mandatory attendance policy. The faculty treats us like children. There have been some ethically questionable things that have happened but the school holds all the leverage so will never be held accountable.
-
Communication is sometimes lacking, but not often
-
Paternalistic administration, lack of trust

How approachable are faculty members?
What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?
-
The facilities aren't new but they seem nice enough. It's hard to say a lot about the clinics because the rotations here are fairly chaotic. There's no guarantee that you will have the same rotations that I had.
How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?
-
In my opinion, no, they are not being adequately prepared by the school for rotations or residency. We are doing far worse than we should be doing on standardized exams given how selective this school is, and I think this is a demonstration that things are not working here.
What are rotations like?
-
Rotations are disorganized and nobody seems to have a clear idea of the way they are supposed to work. Everyone has a different experience. Which is to say you *could* have a really good experience with rotations, or you might not.

Any other information you want to share?

There is a trend among medical schools lately to try out the newest fad curriculums that unfortunately found its way here. The problem is that it seems like only half of the faculty at the school seems to be on board with it. Most of the clinical attendings hate it and many of them don't seem to have a problem with punishing us (the students) to make their displeasure known. What I have learned is that it is possible to be successful despite all of these challenges, but it really is because of your own effort and motivation and will not because of support from the school. We would be much better off if the school hadn't bothered to change the curriculum.
