"Students seemed really happy and friendly, faculty seemed friendly as well. Standardized patient program seems like a great way to learn clinical skills." Report Response
"Traditional lecture-based format. Very little incorporation of technology into the curriculum. Library is not open 24 hours. Norfolk seems fairly sleepy." Report Response
"Asked for a student host a month in advance, but never got one. (Emailed a week before interview--no response. Called school a couple of days before interview to check, was told "we'll get back to you" but they never did.) Very disappointed--wanted to hear about the school from current students." Report Response
"I was expecting some stress because of the panel interview format, but my panel (2 doctors and a student) was very nice and relaxed. I didn't get any ethics questions, but we spent a lot of time talking about health-care reform. Overall, this seems like a nice little medical school, although it didn't blow me away in any particular respect. Clearly, clinical skills instruction (via standardized patients) is their greatest strength." Report Response
