What do you like least about this school?

"Feels like a loaded question here. The new clinical education director has no idea on the direction she is going and all it does is make Barry look like a joke when asked about what we have to do versus the other schools. One thing is personally I would like Barry to improve in the fields that we are considered weak in, like we are told Barry students are weak vs the other schools when it comes to surgery and its understanding but both the surgical professors are very skilled and one has even wrote for the major pediatric surgery book and yet we seem to still be lacking and Barry won't figure out what needs to be changed all because our current dean is all about passing scores for boards and getting matches for residency. Lastly this is a little good with the bad, Barry has made me work my butt off to understand podiatric medicine but due to the lack of early year extensive teaching, you end up get a solid grasp of the material from self study and it will make you very self reliant on collecting and understanding the information allowing you to work quickly in the hospital and processing the new information rapidly."

Please provide any other general comments on your school

"Barry is an experience. You will learn very well from clinicians and the professors that live in the you must know everything mindset because their material is our bread and butter but there are many of times the professors will be lazy in teaching but then give you exams on material you don't know how to reach yet because it was assumed you remembered everything like the professors do and can go from A to G."
