School Info

Drexel University College of Medicine, a new name just a few years ago, is the consolidation of two venerable medical schools with rich and intertwined histories: Hahnemann Medical College and Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania. Established in 1848 and 1850, respectively, they were two of the earliest medical colleges in the United States, and Woman's was the very first medical school for women in the nation. Today, with over 1,000 medical students, Drexel University College of Medicine (DUCOM) is the largest private medical school in the country.

Curriculum

Recognizing that students have different learning styles, students choose between two innovative academic curricula for their first two years of study. Both options focus on professional medical education, preparing students to pursue a career as either a generalist or specialist. Both stress problem solving, lifelong learning skills and the coordinated teaching of basic science with clinical medicine. The Interdisciplinary Foundations of Medicine (IFM) curriculum integrates basic science courses and presents them through clinical symptom-based modules. Each first-year module focuses on clinical symptoms and features relevant material from the perspective of several basic and behavioral science disciplines. By the end of the first year, the basic and behavioral science courses have presented their entire core content, integrating it with related material in other disciplines. In the second year, students study basic and clinical sciences using an organ system approach. Students learn in lectures, labs, and small group settings. Students who choose the Program for Integrated Learning (PIL), a problem-based curriculum, learn primarily in small groups which are supervised and facilitated by faculty. There are seven 10-week blocks over the first two years. Each block contains 10 case studies, detailing real patient issues relating to the topics of the block. The cases serve as the stimulus and context for students to search out the information they need to understand, diagnose, and treat clinical problems. Developing the information they need to learn is crucial to the PIL approach. Sharing information, concept mapping, evaluating and giving and receiving feedback are essential facets of the curriculum. Laboratories and lectures complement the case studies.

Facilities

The College of Medicine`s main campus, Queen Lane, is in a suburban-like setting in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. Additional facilities are located at the Center City campus, which includes Hahnemann University Hospital. Our Pediatrics Department is at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, and Psychiatry is based at Friends Hospital. Students can receive clinical education at 25 affiliated hospitals and ambulatory sites chosen for commitment to teaching as well as medical excellence.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"have student interviewers that have been attending the school for longer than 1 month" More from this Member | Report Response

"Better information session" More from this Member | Report Response

"less down-time during interview... there was like 45 minutes between activities where i just sat in the admissions office" More from this Member | Report Response

"Less downtime if possible." More from this Member | Report Response

"They should have an actual person welcome us instead of a video. It felt very insincere." More from this Member | Report Response

"Improve food offerings. Use people to give presentations, not videos. Allow applicants to interact with students who have been at the school for longer than 3 months." More from this Member | Report Response

"Why make us write another essay? Don’t schedule four applicants with the same interviewer back to back, if he runs late to begin with and runs over time, the last applicant is set back over an hour and a half. It really means a lot to have an actual person welcome the applicants who visit the medical school campus, the video was a complete turn off, and started the day on the wrong foot." More from this Member | Report Response

"We were told that it would take 6-8 weeks to hear any word back due to the high volume of applicants. However, this is quite a long time and is very stressful to applicants. I would suggest, however if it is possible or not, to cut that waiting period down significantly." More from this Member | Report Response

"-have an actual interview packet or something to give to people when they come for an interview. an information booklet or something that they can take home instead of just a few sheets of paper. -make the lunch more organized instead of just directing students to the cafeteria -notify students when they are being offered an interview immediately, instead of waiting however many weeks to send an email and leaving it up to them to check their portal every day I understand that Drexel receives a lot of applications but their admissions & interview process needs a lot of work." More from this Member | Report Response

"It would have been nice if things didn't overlap so much (interviews and tours and presentations, etc.)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Don't schedule a tour of the anatomy lab/school facilities at the same time some interviewees have to leave for interviews. The admissions office gave a tour of the medical school and the anatomy lab to all interviewees except for me as soon as I left to attend my interview in Center City." More from this Member | Report Response

"Maybe have a student give the tour so interviewees have a better feel for what the students think. Also maybe have refreshments while interviewees wait in the room for long periods of time, I was starving while waiting for the student interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"Don't be so rude. Had a horrible experience with admissions staff." More from this Member | Report Response

"Shorten the down time and the over all length of the day perhaps." More from this Member | Report Response

"Thanks for the relaxed interviews. I'd love to see more of what we could see as med students. Seeing the PIL program was good, but I would have loved to see some more." More from this Member | Report Response

"Stop having interviews at an off campus location." More from this Member | Report Response

"they need to review completed files faster" More from this Member | Report Response

"When you give out folders to interviewing students, it would be nice if you included their names and schedules in there instead of having us shuffle papers around." More from this Member | Report Response

"Train the interviewers" More from this Member | Report Response

"Here are the three possible ethical question essay prompts I'm aware of. I may have paraphrased them or gotten the details wrong but if they're close enough that that won't matter. 1) You're a doctor, it's 4:00 pm and time for you to go home. You have long-standing evening plans. Your patient patient is just going in for a diagnostic test for a serious medical condition that will take an hour to complete. Do you cancel your plans in order to be there when your patient's results come back or leave your patient in the care of the on call team? Explain your reasoning 2) You're riding in your friend's car when she runs a stop sign/red light and gets into an accident (no fatalities/injuries/damage of that magnitude). She asks you to be involved in lying about the cause of the accident for insurance purposes. What do you do? 3) Rules exist for a reason but aren't applicable to all situations. Explain a time you've broken the rules and some of the ethical consequences (I forget exactly which they ask for, but if you think about an example and what you learned, why you broke the rules, and other ethical ramifications of such a scenario, you'll be prepared) You have about half of the space on one side of a unlined sheet of standard printer paper to answer the prompt."

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
