"N/A" | Report Response

What are rotations like?

"They implemented a new curriculum and completely changed how they do rotations. Most of the preceptors we work with are new and have never had students before. This is both a good and bad thing. The school treats this new system as if it will work exactly the same as the old system, but the new preceptors do not seem to want to cooperate with that. We are stuck in the middle, unfortunately. This isn't a guarantee you will have a bad experience but it's something to think about." | Report Response

Any other information you want to share?

"I realize that most medical schools are probably like this but it feels like this place is being run like a business. The faculty here have acted pretty cold towards me when I have asked for help with personal issues. It seems like their main concern is limiting liability to the university." | Report Response

"Very pleased with my education" | Report Response
