What impressed you positively?

Clinical training is great, exposure to a huge range of patient pathologies. Lots of security.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish the probation issue was taken care of already; that would make my decision easier.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Med campus also houses dental school, pharmacy school, nursing school, plus hospitals/research facilities/etc, so you have the sense that the campus is a bigger place with more happening than at other schools I've seen where there's just a building housing the med school, and that's it.

What are your general comments?

I will say that I am came away from Temple with a much better impression of the school than I had going in. They fully addressed the probationary accreditation and the good news is that there should be a decision regarding this in February 04, and hopefully the school will come off probation at that time. Clinical training at Temple is great because of the urban location. Med students get involved in many aspects of patient care that they might not experience at other hospitals where patients may be more inclined to refuse student involvement. Students seem happy, laid back with strong senses of humor, and not overworked, which surprised me given that lectures run from 8-3 everyday. If you are someone who really enjoys challenges, like I am, you will probably find yourself drawn to Temple. I think a lot of opportunities are available (in terms of research, etc.), but you need to be the type of person who is fairly independent and who will seek them out in order to take advantage of them. I didn't get the sense that there was a lot of hand-holding of the students. Neighborhood is really bad but this did not phase me too much. Like I said, I like challenges. I actually really liked many things about this school, including the faculty and students I met.
