"Immersion into the clinic with emphasis on history and physical exam early on. Integration of anatamoge, radiology and butterfly ultrasound devices in first year of cadaveric anatomy class. Strong match list. Affiliated with The Jackson Laboratories for Genomic Medicine where there are top scientists for early bench research experiences, as well as opportunities for dual degrees and fellowships such as HHMI, NIH, Sarnoff, etc."
"Small class (~90) but Pre-clinical years are combined with dental school (another 40 people). Clinical sites are nearby with varied patient population, including a VA. Lots of emphasis on clinical training, strong physical exam and history taking emphasis, even in pre-clinical years. 1/2 day per week of primary care clinic beginning in September of MS 1."
"Cooperative environment"
"Although a strength for some, the mandatory public health certificate may encumber time that could be spent for research/shadowing etc. depending on your personal interests. They emphasis training physicians for primary care, though we match into more competitive specialties every year. Must find your own mentor early on to understand different opportunities (an issue probably not specific to this school)."
"The administration is a little bit aloof, sometimes hard to access."
"Location"
"As a CT resident, this school offers students a quality education at an affordable price. Faculty and staff are supportive and there are opportunities to pursue your own interests within the first year."
"I thought it was a great place to go to medical school: definitely teaches you the basics and there are lots of good learning opportunities at various clinical sites. My class's match list was very strong which I think reflects the school's ability to prepare us well for residency."

"all pre-clinical classes are mandatory. TBL format. No lectures."
"Didactic lectures are not mandatory, everything else is. The new curriculum is doing away with these lectures and just having all of that curriculum online"
"designed to train a well-rounded primary care physician, pursue specialty opportunities on your own outside the curriculum (there are many ways to do this)"
"No, it's fairly broad. Some specialties are poorly represented (ophtho, ENT, PM&R)."

"No on-campus, but affordable housing is in the Forest Apartments across the street from hospital and school."
"There is no on-campus housing, but there are lots of apartments nearby. Avg rent with roommates is anywhere from $400-$700. Some students also live at home in the area as most of the students are in-state."

"Great faculty, though you are in TBL format therefore you must learn on your own with classmates and then ask faculty during TBL or privately for any concepts that are difficult for you on your own."
"Most are PhD's and thus sometimes will teach stuff that is not "clinically relevant" which wastes everyone's time. But overall, the quality is solid."

"M3 has four PODS. two six week pods of Psych(6weeks)/Inpatient Med(6weeks) and ObGyn(6weeks)/Surgery(6weeks). two four week pods of Fam Med(4wks)/Amb Peds(4wks)/Inpatient Peds(4wks) and Neurology(4wks)/AmbMed(4wks)/Elective(4wks); followed by 8 weeks of elective/board study before M4. M4 has electives plus ED and critical care. Must also complete 8 week scholarship/research block to graduate. Finish M4 with 2 wk transition to residency before graduation. Note: 22 weeks of elective are required. To pick M3 rotations, you enter grid with a combination of those 4 blocks. Lottery algorithm is unknown to students."
"Scheduled online all at the same time. MS 3: Neurology (3 wks), Inpatient pediatrics (3 wks) Outpatient Pediatrics (5 wks), Inpatient Medicine (6 wks), Outpatient medicine (5 wks), OB/GYN (6 wks), General Surgery (6 wks), Family Medicine (6 wks), Psychiatry (6 wks), elective (2 wks) MS 4: Emergency medicine (4 wks), ICU (4 wks), Sub-internship in pediatrics/family/internal/surgery (pick one, 4 wks), Radiology (2 wks), elective (4 months, can do up to 4 away rotations)"
"Depends on the rotation obviously but I would say fairly broad. I felt like I had a decent amount of autonomy to see patients on my own, help guide management, call consults and speak to them directly, do procedures (arterial lines, ABGs, suturing, assisting in the OR, skin biopsies, others)."

"Clubs, organized sports, student groups, class-funded activities after every test usually at a bar with catered food, etc."
"West Hartford is nearby which has a great downtown with a decent selection of bars and restaurants. NYC and Boston are both under 2 hours away for weekends. CT is in a great spot where there are beaches during the summer and good skiing in VT 3 hours away in the winter. Lots of free time in pre-clinical years to do stuff."
"Match very well. Perform better than neighboring schools (Yale, QU) in clinical elective in M3 and intern year due to emphasis on patient care early on in pre-clinical years."
"We matched plenty of students to top-tier programs (HSS for ortho, CHOP for peds, UCSF derm among highlights) if you go by doximity residency rankings."
