What impressed you positively?

The school focuses on training clinicians and less on research. They have a lot of high tech stuff e.g. wireless internet. The curriculum structure. The fact that their lectures are video taped.

I don't like their location at all. I wish they could relocate.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing out of the ordinary

What are your general comments?

It was a nice interview experience. I had 2 interviews - one with a faculty and the other with a student. The on e with the faculty was open file and the one with the student was rather layed back and closed file. I unfortunately had to interview at the hospital downtown. That was'nt too bad after all as I got to see the downtown area. ( I wish the school itself was downtown like Upenn & Jefferson). Overall it was a pleasant day.
