What do you like least?

If you choose to stay in Kansas City for rotations, it will be an awful experience. KCU does not have their own affiliated hospital, so they rely on relationships with local docs, typically KCU grads. This inevitably means that there are not enough specialists for each student. I was lucky enough (sarcasm) to have 3 family medicine rotations because there are not enough OBGYN and IM preceptor, which completely cheated me out of the opportunity to learn about these specialties. If you want a well rounded rotation experience, stay far away from Kansas City if you choose to attend KCU.
