What are your general comments?

Overall, I really enjoyed the day at UMMSOM's regional campus. It was well organized and interviews were given by professors/MDs. Everyone was very nice and the atmosphere was relaxed. We toured the facilities including a really cool simulation center and the labs/lecture halls/etc and took a trip to the Boca Raton Community Hospital. I highly recommend that future docs should check it out!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep up the good work! The day was well organized and enjoyable.
