Any other information you want to share?

I think EVMS really walks the walk with community focus. Many of the issues, especially with quality of life, that other medical schools have I honestly have had trouble relating to at EVMS. The curriculum is constantly reassessed and currently structured in a way that I think is conducive to reducing overall stress (still stressful obviously) but I have never felt that faculty and staff were not accepting to feedback.
