What impressed you positively?

Students were very happy. The atmosphere was very low stress. Everyone I met seemed very involved with the local community and was intent on making a difference. The anatomy lab was pretty cool. Tunnels were sweet too.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities were not as nice as I expected. The classrooms looked pretty run down. Budget contraints are a little bit disturbing... students were griping about the paperless curriculum.

What are your general comments?

All in all it wasnt bad. I was most impressed with how the school tries to make an effort to improve the quality of healthcare delivery to the local population. The clinical exposure seems very strong too - the school has a number of affiliated hospitals and I believe in on of them all the patients come through the ER. One of my interviewers was disturbingly candid with me about the state of medicine so much so that it made me wonder what I was getting in to. His advice though was very sound and is something I will definately use regardless of whether or not I go to MSSM. He said no matter what, during your first year, find a mentor, someone who you can trust and relate to and who will call it exactly how it is. Cardiology might sound like fun, but see how cardiologists live and ask yourself if you can live with that lifestyle.
