What are your general comments?
The day started with a presentation about KCUMB and the background of osteopathic medicine. Approximately 20 people were in the interviewee group. The group then met with 5 or 6 KCUMB students for an open question and answer session. A tour was given and interviewees met back in the cafeteria for lunch with students. Interviews followed. I had toured the campus once before and I am still very impressed with what KCUMB has to offer.
