"Most classes were taught poorly." | Report Response

"- cost - lack of guidance - must learn everything on your own - out of usa - rotations are scattered throughout usa - calling, emailing, etc the office to ask for help is useless. they almost never answer/reply because (so says the phone answering monkeys) they are busy in a "meeting" - school doesnt pay doctors for teaching us during rotations in a timely manner, so the drs either quit teaching or quit accepting students - school doesnt pay hospitals in a timely manner for rotations either - we've been dropped from hospitals as well" | Report Response
