Memphis is such a great area to learn the practice of medicine. I was extremely excited to see how early you get practical experience. GREAT SCHOOL!

There was nothing that negatively impressed me, but I will say that some of the rooms and things are a little outdated, but the school still has the state of the art technology.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I would have known it was going to be such an ugly day, so far as weather. Also, I wish I would have known that Dr. Nutty will act like a fool during his interview!
What are your general comments?
The day started with us all meeting in the 910 building. After that Dr. Strother greeted us and let us have the continental breakfast (which isn't much, so eat befor eyou get there). Then Ms. Diane (the nicest woman in the world) showed us to our interview locations and gave us her cell phone number just in case we got loss in the huge medical center. After that you willhave your first interview, and then you will come back to the group for the tours, and then you will be back at the 910 building for an outbreifing. Then you will have your second interview. Then take your a$$ home. It was a great day!
