What impressed you positively?
The program's organization is ideal for me because emphasizes early patient contact, which I think is very important (and obviously works out well considering that 100% of their students pass the clinical skills portion of step 2 the first time). I also really liked the small size of the class. The Dean of Students was really great and seems to know the majority of the students on a personal level. The schools just seems to be very close knit.
What impressed you negatively?
The facility is kind of drab and everything is ine one location. However, they do have plans to update the lectures halls and such in the very near future.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They do not provide housing to their students.
