Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Small class size means lots of individualized attention. PBL is a huge part of the curriculum and the whole thing seems set up to make you think like a doctor, not just memorize. The simulation center was the best I've seen.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Somewhat primary care focused, so students who plan on specializing have to plan a little extra. Patients population is less diverse than most metro centers (though you can do some rotations at Jackson if you want to).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This was the lowest stress interview day I've been on, so freaking out is not necessary. I didn't know they had a student host program.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interview day is very low key and informative. There were only 4 interviewees there the day I went. This school really struck me as a particularly close-knit, family style environment. I like the focus on clinical skills that they seem to do a phenomenal job of teaching here.
