School Info

At the Florida State University College of Medicine, we're interested in producing doctors who are caring practitioners of both the art and science of medicine. That process starts with choosing the right students - people who will work well with their patients and the entire health-care team. After carefully selecting our students, we immerse them in a culture that embodies the characteristics we expect to see in our graduates. Throughout their education, FSU medical students learn in an environment that values diversity, mutual respect, teamwork and open communication. They also actively participate in an innovative curriculum that prepares them to become lifelong learners in an era of explosive growth in medical knowledge and information technology.

Curriculum

Students benefit from a well-structured continuum of education in the biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences. Subjects such as anatomy and pathology are presented in a clinically relevant context using medical cases, as well as the latest educational technologies. Problem-based and small-group learning experiences help students develop their clinical acumen and learn to work as a team. Community-based clinical education spans the four-year curriculum. During the first two years, students' clinical education takes place in physician practices in the Tallahassee area, as well as in the medical school's Clinical Learning Center. In the third and fourth years, students complete their required clinical rotations at one of the medical school's four regional campuses, located in Orlando, Pensacola, Sarasota and Tallahassee. In these urban centers and the surrounding rural areas, the clinical training program extends into hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, managed care organizations, private clinics and other outpatient settings.

Facilities

Originally housed in Duxbury Hall (administrative offices and student community room), Montgomery Gym (anatomy lab), several science buildings (classrooms) and portable buildings (administrative offices), the college moved into transitional facilities at the former FSU Developmental Research School on the northwest corner of the FSU campus in three phases between December 2001 and April 2002. The college broke ground Feb. 4, 2003, on a new 300,000-square-foot complex of buildings to house the first- and second-year educational program, and moved into these buildings in October 2004.

What do you like most?

"The school really cares about us as people, if we have any health/personal issues they check up on us and work with us to set us up for success" | Report Response

"The way our third year is setup. It allows to be 1 on 1 with our attending which makes it easier to learn" | Report Response

"There is a sense of camraderie amongst the students, and a very clinical basis which may be detested by those who wish to pursue research/academics, but loved by those who wish to practice in the community." | Report Response

"The people." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"They are honestly a little disorganized" | Report Response

"nothing" | Report Response

"1- The administration is pushes family practice, not only to the enthusiasm of the specialty, but also to the detriment of other specialties. The family medicine interest group receives large funding and attention, while the specialty interest groups scrape for funding and have maybe one meeting per year. The faculty has been known to actively deter people from pursuing other specialty interests. 2- All rotations are done in community hospitals, meaning when you leave, you are relatively unprepared to function in the academic setting associated with most residency programs." | Report Response

"The stress involved with medical school." | Report Response

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
