What impressed you positively?

The level of energy the staff and students have. The research "big guns." The facilities are very nice. The county hosp is huge and the med students are involved in patient care. (not just observing)

What impressed you negatively?

Dallas is a decent city, but the school is located in a less than stellar neighborhood. Lots of security guards around the hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interviews would be easy going and conversational!

What are your general comments?

I'm impressed by the breadth of research going on at UTSW and the number of opportunities that med students have to bolster their career potential.
