"They take really great photos for ERAS. The Cuban coffee on campus is unbeatable."
"Clinical teaching and experience during 3rd and 4th year can't be beat."
"Excellent clinical experience and training during 3rd and 4th year. Abundant research opportunities."
"Just about everything. Unhelpful administrators (who actually try to get in your way and prevent you from taking educational opportunities), first and second year were less helpful than having two years of free time, rude staff, poor education, really unintelligent and/or overworked people in positions to really screw up your education. And good luck if you don't speak Spanish."
"The entire first- and second-year curriculum needs an overall, starting with the Doctoring program. I felt like we wasted a lot of valuable time during geriatrics training and other miscellaneous activities that have no impact on what I do as a physician."
"Some modules from the pre-clinical years were disorganized."
"Such a disaster, please avoid if you have any sense at all. You have very little time to study for step 1 (<4 weeks), very little elective time in third year (with no ability to do aways), no assistance with research. The people who will be writing your letters of recommendation are generally poor English speakers. In short, if there is a way to screw you over, this school will try to do it. You can even get written up for being sick (and yes it will go in your dean's letter as some vague mention of "unprofessionalism"). Can't make this stuff up."
"While the quality of education in the first two years is less than perfect, this school more than makes up for it on the wards. Students here receive excellent exposure to a variety of cases and play integral roles on their teams during 3rd and 4th year rotations. From what I hear, this fact is very evident to residency program directors throughout the country."

"Geriatrics, I suppose. You have mandatory geriatrics training in your first two years and then a month of mandatory geriatrics rotation in your fourth year. What a waste of time. Too bad no one in the administration will LISTEN since we ALL AGREE ON THIS POINT."
"Internal medicine"
"No."

"So I live on campus, but it is not provided by the school. Most people refuse to live here because of the massive cockroach infestation. I think we've got most of the little buggers by liberally spraying bug poison on every surface."

"Some even speak English."
"Mediocre. There are certainly some gems, particularly in the physiology department, but there are lots that waste too much time with extraneous details."
"Widely varies. Most are excellent teachers, however a lot of the guest lecturers could use some help."
"Some speak English, but if they can speak Spanish they usually prefer to (understandably, since a large majority of patients are Spanish-speaking only)."
"Again, rather average. The real learning comes from the patient exposure."
"Again, widely varies. Most are great and in general better than in the pre-clinical years."

"8 weeks x internal med, fam med, surgery 6 weeks x pediatrics, psych, ob-gyn, elective"
"3rd year: medicine, surgery, and family med/primary care are 8 weeks. Peds, ob/gyn, and psych are 6 weeks. There is time to do 6 weeks of electives during the 3rd year. 4th year: emergency med, neurology, medicine sub-internship, surgery sub-internship, and radiology are all 4 weeks. Anesthesiology is 2 weeks. The rest of the year is elective."
"There is a lottery system that allows you to pick a pre-constructed schedule. A better pick for third year means a worse pick for fourth year, and vice versa. Required rotations are surgery, internal medicine, general primary care/family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, pediatrics, neurology, geriatrics, emergency medicine, radiology, anesthesia, medicine sub-internship, surgery sub-internship."
"As much or as little as you want. In general, you can get out of procedures. I did one foley, no IVs, no suturing in my third year. Got to retract once in a while."
"Med students must see all of the patients, write the notes and orders, call consults, and perform light procedures such as lumbar punctures."
"Admitting patients, pre-rounding, writing notes, writing orders, seeing patients in clinic, discharging patients, typical scutwork, etc."
"VA, UMH, Jackson - they are all around and kicking. They are fine."
"Jackson Memorial is the 3rd largest hospital in the country and offers every medical service and innovation imaginable. University of Miami Hospital is a private hospital that students are starting to rotate through. The VA was rated the Best VA in the Country the year I graduated. Sylvester is a small, private cancer hospital where some rotations are performed. There are a few other places where students can rotate for ob/gyn, the list above sums it up."
"Mostly spanish-speaking only, some creole-speaking only. Some speak english!"
"Most are indigent. We have a large Hispanic and Caribbean population. Be prepared to learn some Spanish and Creole."
"Indigent patient population at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Veterans at the VA. Mix of everything at the other affiliated hospitals and clinics."

"Not much in the area. In Brickell, we have class get-togethers at Fado, Tobacco Road, various places."
"Miami is the party capital of the world with bars, clubs, live music, and the beach all within minutes of the campus."
"Beach, bars, clubs, SCUBA diving, fishing, IM sports."
"I have no idea yet. Can't wait to find out."
"They are looked upon favorably because they have such a strong clinical training background."
"Very competent in working on the wards. Strong fund of clinical knowledge. Great team players."
"No, but we have a lot of corrupt department leaders. Corruption seems to be a skill that people learn well here."
"By far we send more people into internal medicine than any other field."
"Not especially. Every specialty is well represented to a certain extent."
