🎓 The Basics

Overall, how satisfied are you with this program?

9 out of 10

What was the zip code of your residence in high school?

39503

What do you like most?

Few mandatory lectures, NBME Exams, clerkships with a lot of 1 on 1 time with residents and attendings, SP encounters, Ultrasound, and optional training sessions prepare you well enough for wards. Ample time to study for board exams, though the curriculum is sufficient to take a short dedicated if needed.

What do you like least?

The mandatory lectures we do have (every couple of months) are pointless and could be an email.
