What impressed you positively?

"Difficulty of the program." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Discouragement by students in regards to the program- no early clinical built into the first two years of the program, staggered midterm schedules so there are midterms nearly every week (and resulting high stress level), faculty reluctance to experiement with the program to a more efficient organ-based approach (as many schools are now employing), and finally the mandated independent research project for all MD students in order to complete the program. Lastly, school's proximity to the local naval base makes for unnecessary noise pollution at times. What stood out to me is how unhappy the medical students seemed (even the student tour guides) in respect to other medical school I have seen." Report Response
