SDN, UHS Website, D.O. Mentors
What impressed you positively?
The Curriculum. Case based learning eliminates the need to assimilate all the information learned in the first 2 years of education when the student needs to apply during the clinical education. Also, USMLE and COMLEX exams are case based. You are prepared for these exams from the beginning of your medical education. Students and staff are supportive of the students. They want you to succeed.
What impressed you negatively?
Pretty small school overall. I am used to a large University. Actual patient contact is pushed back into the 3rd and 4th years. They did not talk about there clinical affiliations much.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I would have liked to know more specifics about the curriculum.
