What are your general comments?

My visit went very well. There were a couple of things that kind of peeved me throughout the day though. First off -- way too much info. I know it's very nice that you have a new reading room. But I really didn't need a 25 minute presentation on it. Second off -- the board scores are GREAT...but there repeated emphasis throughout the day made it seem like that's all the administration cares about. Third off (and this isn't a UF only problem, but it bugs the crap out of me) -- YOUR FACILITY IS NOT UNIQUE!! Almost everyone in the country has standardized patients now. They all have cameras in the room to record your performance (some of them even have 2!). They all have the anesthesia dummies. EVERYONE has it...quit telling me you're the only ones! Ok. Mini-rant over. Had to get that out of my system. I really liked that you get to go down to Jacksonville and have some of your rotations in an urban setting. It also seemed like the med students had pretty healthy interactions with each other - not too much crazy competitiveness.
