What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?

Old and failing. Lack of cleanliness and students are required to contact facilities management during a 3 hour appointment because they have been assigned a chair that does not work. Preclinical mani heads are broken and do not function well. We are promised better facilities but they haven’t come through

How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?

They are prepared but have such a low self esteem due to their treatment during school that they do not reach their full potential.

What are rotations like?

Rotations do not help us graduate. They are required we are given no assistants. Borderline toxic environment, looking for any excuse to make us feel like we know nothing while teaching us very little.

How do students from this program do in the Match?

No responses

Any other information you want to share?

The faculty are good, students are okay but rarely if ever advocate for each other against an absolutely overdemanding, uncompromising administration that continues to give themselves better offices and new awards, meanwhile all student failures are considered the student’s fault. The worst case scenario is always assumed, and new policies are put in place because they believe we only care about minimal effort with maximum reward... when in fact we love our patients and thank them profusely for showing up.
