What do you like most?

I can confidently say that this is a fantastic place for anyone looking for a supportive and nurturing environment for their medical education. The staff here are incredibly personable and always go above and beyond to make sure that students feel heard and valued. One of the things I love about the school is how much they genuinely care about the success and well-being of their students. The administration and faculty actively listen to feedback and are constantly making adjustments to improve the learning experience. They recently received about 20 million in funding from the state to help build a new skills-building that is almost done, and looks like it will be amazing. If you're looking for a school that prioritizes not only your education but also your success and personal growth, William Carey is the place to be. The staff truly strives to help you reach your fullest potential, and I couldn't ask for a better medical school experience.

What do you like least?

One area that could be improved is the pace of certain courses. At times, the volume of material can feel overwhelming, especially during more intensive modules like respiratory or cardio (idk that this is unique to my school, though). However, the faculty is receptive to feedback, and they are always looking for ways to improve the curriculum

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

The facilities at William Carey are brand new and really well-maintained. The campus is clean, and there are lots of places to study. We also get a 24/7 access student ID, so you can go in and out of the buildings whenever you need to, which is super convenient.

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

I honestly feel super prepared for practice after being at William Carey. We have in-person skills labs almost every week, which is a lot more than many other schools. I really appreciate how much hands-on experience we get before we even start rotations. By the time you’re in the clinic, you feel ready to jump in and take on real-world situations.

What are rotations like?

Rotations at William Carey are awesome because you get the chance to be in Mississippi or New York. I’ve had great experiences with most of my preceptors (Mississippi), and they’ve been really supportive and nice. Scheduling rotations can be a bit tricky sometimes, but I know the school is working on getting more rotation counselors to help make that process smoother. Overall, the experience has been great, and I feel like I’m getting a well-rounded education in different settings.

How do students from this program do in the Match?

We have close to 99% match rate from what I understand. Lots of students go into Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Psych, and General Surgery (probably 5 or so every year)

Any other information you want to share?

Overall it's a good place to attend school, the complaints are minor and for the price, it's probably one of the best med schools IMO
