Our group question was. If you were given 50billion dollars by a philanthropist (forgot name) who told you that you had to spend it on health care providers, such that they are better able to give all around care how would you divide the money. What programs would you as administrators use.

What impressed you positively?

the new buildings - teaching center, exam rooms and research buildings. The realy nice hospital. My student hosts were realy cool. The students generally seemed happy. They have an innovative curriculum that gives alot of free time.

What impressed you negatively?

The day was kinda long with excessive stressing of PBL, I guess this is their thing though. I was told they have even less in terms of scholarships and grants to give and this is probably the schools biggest negative. There is quite a bit of down time and the room is cramped

What are your general comments?

The day starts at 7:30. There is a introductory section and a long video. At about 9:00am the group interviews start. They ask you individual questions at first, then a general group question where you work it out together. It is relaxed and I think the questions seemed sensible and my group worked well together... it feels wierd to be watched... Then there is an individual meeting (waited around for about 1hour and 15min). All you do is add to your file and ask questions and talk... not really an interview. Then lunch and then a tour. Finally a PBL tutorial thingy where the Dean of Education talks about the program and works through a problem in the same style. Day ends at 3:00pm
