"Friendly, knowledgable faculty. Amazing camaraderie among classmates. Great resources. Located near Washington, D.C. and next to a major teaching hospital (Walter Reed)"
"Emphasis on independent decision making, ability to travel the country for clerkships, ability to serve and outstanding patient population"
"The curriculum focuses on "hands-on" learning experiences which allow students to get proficient at physical exam skills and basic procedures. The university has all students perform ACLS training twice, and all students must perform ATLS once."
"Early lecture hours. Library is small"
"Too many students in it for a free education and not dedicated to their commitment as officers. This isn't pervasive, but a few bad apples spoil the bunch."
"The school's parking situation is very bad. It is difficult to perform 4th year clerkship electives at our affiliated medical center (Walter Reed) because we aren't given access to parking unless we are performing a sub-internship."
"On the eve of graduation I feel prepared to crush residency, get out and take care of soldiers practicing good medicine in bad places."
"USUHS is an excellent medical school. Throughout 3rd and 4th year clerkships, I have always felt prepared to evaluate and treat patients. In addition, I was never concerned about working with staff physicians as a medical student because the university teaches students how to properly present patient cases. Since I have traveled all over the country to perform clinical rotations, I have had the opportunity to work with medical students from many medical schools (both MD and DO) which allowed me to gain different perspectives on how medicine is taught and practiced."

"Usually at least once a day"
"2-3x/week"
"Pathology Lab and Anatomy Lab had mandatory attendance. Attendance is optional at 90-95% of lectures. All lectures are recorded and can be accessed from home. The school also has many different "small-group" training sessions which require mandatory attendance. We typically have about 5 mandatory lab/group sessions per week. USUHS strictly follows LCME guidelines concerning the amount of time spent in lectures/labs per week. Students always have adequate time to study on their own."
"no, just an austere and prehospital layer added in additional to typical coursework"
"The curriculum is designed to produce self-sufficient doctors that can practice medicine in austere environments with limited resources. No speciality is "promoted"; however, regardless of specialty, all military physicians need to be able to provide medical care to active duty service members in deployed settings. USUHS prepares students to do that."

"No on-campus housing - Students are provided a Basic Housing Allowance (valued at about 1,800-2,200 per month). Bethesda, MD housing market is very expensive; however, our housing allowance is enough to cover the cost of a 1-2 bedroom apartment with good amenities."

"outstanding."
"Every Module (System Block) has one PhD lead and one MD/DO lead who function as the supervisors. The PhD lead is typically a researcher/educator who has significant experience in the system being taught. The MD/DO lead is typically a physician who practices medicine in the speciality that is being taught (Cardiologist during Cardio Module, Neurologist during NEURO Module, Sports Med/Ortho during MSK module, etc, etc.). These faculty members have been excellent. They attend every lecture and attend every "small group session" with the students to ensure that the students are getting a good learning experience."
"lots of variability given the extensive and varied number of teaching hospitals- generally don't have a bad thing to say about any of them"
"The instruction varies from site to site since USUHS has students travel throughout the DOD health system during 3rd year clerkships. All instructional faculty at the clinical sites are highly invested in the USUHS curriculum and are in close contact with the clerkship supervisor throughout the year. All faculty are supportive to the students."

"lottery system. Surgery, surgery subspecialty (ortho, ENT, etc), OB-GYN, IM, FM, Psych, EM, Anesthesia, Neuro are required."
"Mandatory 3rd and 4th year Clerkships are scheduled by the University and students get to pick their desired clinical sites throughout the DOD using a "Lottery system." 4th year electives are scheduled by the student. 3rd year Clerkship requirements: Family Medicine: 5 Weeks; Pediatrics: 5 Weeks; Internal Medicine (In-patient): 5 Weeks; Internal Medicine (Out-patient): 5 Weeks; General Surgery: 5 Weeks; Surgery Sub-specailty (Ortho/Vascular/CT/Urology - Chosen by student): 5 Weeks; Elective (Chosen by student): 5 Weeks; 4th Year Clerkship Requirements: Neurology: 4 Weeks; Emergency Medicine: 4 Weeks; Anesthesia: 4 Weeks; One Surgical Sub-Internship: 4 Weeks; One Medical Sub-Internship: 4 Weeks; 7 - four week blocks of electives - these are scheduled by the student."
"In my experience, demonstrate competence and eagerness and you're pretty much given enough rope to hang yourself with"
"Medical Students are expected to take full responsibility of their patients: they must present their patients, review all lab/rad results, follow up on all consults, and be present for all procedures done on their patient. Medical Students are expected to educate their patient's about the daily "plan" and treatment options during daily "rounds"."
"Some of the institutions are world class, Walter Reed, San Diego Naval, etc. Others are smaller and have a community feel"
"Our Two Major affiliated hospitals are: Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and San Antonio Military Medical Center. These hospitals are in excellent condition with state-of-the art technology and services."
"Active duty military, their spouses and children, as well as retirees."
"We tend to deal with an "older" patient population of retired military service members. We also occasionally see spouses, young adults, and children of active duty service members. At San Antonio Military Medical Center, we are exposed to "civilians" that are brought by emergency to our trauma center and burn center."

"I think those who know our product think very highly of USUHS trained physicians"
"I have been told by many residency program directors that USUHS graduates are typically very competent. Residency directors actively recruit USUHS graduates to select their program for residency."
