What impressed you positively?

Warmth and friendliness of students and staff. Eagerness to grow and evolve their curriculum The numerous projects in the works for the school and the extensive research opportunities available. It sounds like an exciting time for UofM Miller!

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities were outdated. Some students seemed callous and quite brash in their comments of patients--this could be a biased sample though! The school really could use a medical spanish course considering its pool of students don't necessarily reflect the patient population it is serving, linguistically and culturally. However, we're all here to learn and grow, so there's still hope for positive change.
