The hospital is really nice, the students are awesome!!! the whole experience was great, faculty, staff, students, interviewer, buildings, classrooms, well ventilated anatomy lab . . .

besides the obvious price of tuition and living expenses, nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The BUMC is not a transplant center, while there are others in the city, this school doesn't do them in the MC, so if that's something you want to see during clerkships, you'll have to go to another hospital

What are your general comments?

Excellent! Dean Witzburg is a really nice guy! The day was not stressful at all (besides the weather complicating transportation) Once you're there, it's really great!
