What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?

Facilities and clinics are well maintained. Third year has been a wonderful experience.

How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?

I hear Maryland trained students do well from many sources, both home and abroad.

What are rotations like?

Rotations vary based on which rotation, but Maryland provides a diverse patient population. There are certain sub-categories that we don't see (e.g. burn, CF) due to presence of JHU centers.

How do students from this program do in the Match?

Strong match! Good reputation in NE.

Any other information you want to share?

Apart from the poor administration, I appreciate the school. From an administrative standpoint, they want to open doors for their excellent students and to only assist their students facing difficulties. However, they do not care to support students sitting towards the middle as long as they are shuffled through.
