"One of the best technologically integrated curriculi in US medical schools. Great integration of radiology and technology in the anatomy labs, they give you a nice laptop 1st year and a PDA on the 3rd year. Audiotaped and Ppt lectures posted. Well organized curriculum, not in class all day, PBL and traditional mix. Students and most people were friendly." Report Response

"Well structured day in general, Don't have much time outside of the packed 10am-3pm schedule they give you.

Enthusiastic students for the most part, but I was left wishing for more student interaction." Report Response
