What impressed you positively?

The school is very dedicated to its mission and is very transparent about their strengths and weaknesses as a program. They invest a lot into their students and have great faculty/student interactions. Clinical experience starts very early.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known more about some of the more unique things about the school (their anatomy lab is unlike anything I have gotten to see so far)

What are your general comments?

Great school that caters to rural medicine. The culture appears to be amazing and all of the students had good rapport with one another. Faculty were very supportive and happy to be there. They have a lot of experience despite being a new med school as many of the staff have founded med schools before so they know what they are doing and they are serious about serving the East Texas area. If you want to involved in a foundational step in helping the East Texas region this is 100% the school for you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I would try to emphasize the pros of living in Tyler since the area is what turns a lot of talented applicants off that have no exposure to rural medicine. Upon seeing the city, it is not as it may seem from an outsider's POV. I definitely recommend giving it a try since everyone is friendly and welcoming.
