I keep hearing that schools, everywhere from Carle to Quinnipiac etc, will require you to find research on your own. Isn't that the case at every school? All med schools have profs & I can understand these profs aren't doctors and even the ones who are docs will not always be into pumping research. So then, do you not have to find research on your own if you have a school with a dedicated research program? I'm pretty sure OUWB has that and A&M does too. But both are trashed for lacking research - or at least requiring students to find research on their own. If that's the case, I don't see how any school would NOT require students to find research on their own.
Feels like a very broadly applied criticism, either because the benchmark is set high or because students always have to find their own research. I don't think someone would comment this of WashU, Vandy, etc bc they prestige might blind the fact that both WashU and A&M have research programs - so why the criticism for one over the other? I'm sure WashU's infrastructure is more built out but the criticism would be more relative ("you sometimes have to find research on your own") rather than "you WILL have to find research on your own"
Hope I'm making sense. Can definitely understand how I might be naive on the topic - but ain't no perception gonna intercept my question....and that's bars 😤
