"Friendly and collaborative environment, innovative and dynamic curriculum." | Report Response

"The curriculum is innovative" | Report Response

"Curriculum design is dynamic and innovative, ensuring students get exposure to all pertinent systems twice in a step-wise fashion. There is camaraderie between faculty and students that is friendly, cordial , and nurturing." | Report Response

"The curriculum is very strong. This is a good school to learn in and become a great physician." | Report Response

"The class shares a lot of stuff with each other. The current president/CEO/chair of board (Dr. Weaver) has an open door policy. Anyone can go in and talk with him. It's great. I also love the cafeteria food. Certain professors (Dr. Johnston & Friedlander) are so awesome intelligent that it blows your mind. Some of our professors actually write the questions for the boards. Score 1 and the other community projects are great learning experiences. You learn how to do exams and apply it in the real world soon (first few months of med school)." | Report Response

"The atmosphere. It's the students who go here that make me LOVE this school. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Second years go out of their way to tutor the first years and third years even come into class when they can to give us heads up on boards." | Report Response

"Nothing." | Report Response

"The osteopathic portion of the education is undergoing many changes and frankly we don't get a great understanding of the material and our test do not represent what we were taught" | Report Response

"Clinical rotations are quite variable in terms of types of exposure, availability of didactics, and scheduling. These inconsistencies are concerning." | Report Response

"I did not like that the grades are all distributed on a bell curve and also that there has been a lot of faculty turnover and the students are not told the reasons why." | Report Response

"Some of the professors are really busy." | Report Response

"The administration is very badly organized. Each branch of the admin doesn't really communicate with the rest and that makes dealing with them a big pain. they don't get information about rotations or other big events out until the day before which is always irritating." | Report Response

"Good place to get a strong education and do well on both the COMLEX and USMLE. Most students at KCUMB to into alliopathic residencies but many also go in to very competitive osteopathic residencies." | Report Response

"I love how the unofficial dorms (Century Towers) is right across from the school. The current president is working really hard to maintain our tuition or decrease the tuition." | Report Response

"The systems based curriculum makes understanding the information presented a little more manageable (which in med school is saying a lot). I can't imagine doing it any other way. The teachers are also here for the students and you can tell they actually care about teaching! The school also claims to be very traditional as far as a dress code and mandatory class attendance, but in reality they don't enforce any of it except no jeans. It makes life much easier and i know plenty of kids who don't go to class at all." | Report Response

"Any anatomy book." | Report Response

"Almost all." | Report Response

"Don't buy anything else until you get here and have been here for a bit. You can buy stuff off of 2nd+ years. Most of the required texts are provided for you online for free to you. There are the books on reserve and certain pages that you need for things are available for copying in the library." | Report Response

"All of them." | Report Response

"Clinical curriculum in 3rd/4th year have specific honors track in FM, OB Gyn, IM, Surgery, Ortho, EM, and Behavioral Health/Psych that are honed in to provide specific didactic exposure, additional training, and secured electives for that specialty." | Report Response

"All osteopathic schools promote primary care medicine but KCUMB does much less than most others. We place many students into primary care and specialties." | Report Response

"No. It is very open to all specialties." | Report Response

"N/A" | Report Response

"We have fake on-campus housing. It's actually off-campus housing (Century Towers) where more than 50% of the pre-clinical year students live. It has a dorm-esque feeling to it." | Report Response

"There isn't a place on-campus but there is a med student apt building across the street that over half the class lives in. I consider it on-cmapus. I highly recommend it. It has 1 & 2 bed available and very cheap utilities. it is a very dorm-like experience. Lots of fun." | Report Response

"1st year - many PhD's and a few MD/PhD's that teach the basic sciences. Near the end there is initial exposure to a variety of pathologists and microbiologist who teach a M1-M2 transition block" | Report Response

"Most are good, some are exceptional, others are bad. There is a large variety of different faculty members and lectures so there is a wide mix." | Report Response

"Seems decent so far (7 months into med school)" | Report Response

"Good. They all want to be teaching and they care about it. There a few boring/dry profs but there are also exciting/hilarious profs as well. I think its a great balance." | Report Response

"Scheduling is determined by a site coordinator." | Report Response

"Scheduled by the site coordinator and the school." | Report Response

"You choose your top 3 locations. They run it thru a compuer." | Report Response

"2 family med, 2 IM, 2 Surgery, Peds, psych, rural med/international med, cardiology, ER, OB/GYN The order is determined by which site you go to. You choose your site by entering a lottery match your second year when you put in your top 3 choices and the school tries to "match" you to your choices. This is done using a computer program. They try to "match" the top choices of the most students possible. They usually get about 70% of the class at their first choice." | Report Response

"Call, night float, didactics are requirements for all sites in which students are placed on the wards." | Report Response

"Well thought of and students do well in rotations and getting the residencies of their choice." | Report Response

"No idea." | Report Response

"Due to the schools vicinity near Childrens Mercy Hospital as well as the integration of a Score 1 (pediatric screening in underserved areas) many go into pediatrics. There is also a niche for orthopedic surgery due to a strong affiliation with an ortho residency in Blue Springs, MO" | Report Response

"Very strong in pathology. Also strong in anatomy and probably general medicine." | Report Response

"I am not aware of this" | Report Response
