How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?
From my understanding, as medical students we see way less patients than the average medical school severely underpreparing us for high volume residencies. Additionally, it is evident admin only cares about money and not about student success and have actively harmed the medical career of several students. Choosing to come here was essentially career suicide.
What are rotations like?

Any other information you want to share?
Yeah legally neomed covers their bases but only does so so they can quietly fuck students over. NEOMED is the "23rd most diverse school" yet REFUSES to hire a single counselor of color and many minority students feel unsafe here (I am white but my friends have shared numerous stories of microaggressions they have faced on behalf of admin). They are currently in the process of getting rid of the majority of our dedicated STEP 1 study time. While the school claims to be pass-fail, there is a general understanding that you need to high pass or do a certain % above passing (like over 5% over passing) to actually be seen as a passing, compliant student. While I get wanting to make sure struggling students get extra help, there is a toxic focus on % grades for a school that claims to be pass-fail. Admin will not communicate important information and yet expects us to know that info and penalizes us for not knowing said info that was never communicated. When admin does communicate, it is oftentimes unprofessional and mainly just denying students' lived experiences.
