What are your general comments?
USF is a really good school and surprised me with their level of excellence. Apparently the clinical experience you receive at the school is pretty much the best in the state and one of the most comprehensive in the nation. One 4th year student remarked that some USF students knew more clinical procedures than residents in some cases. Medical students seem to really enjoy the school and there are renovations currently in progress to improve the medical student lounge and computer labs. Just really a positive experience overall and this school moved up in my draft board.
