What impressed you positively?

"The VIC is an excellent program. It allows for early clinical experience, proper and thorough intergration of the basic science and clinical sciences, ethical/medical leadership/teamwork group discussions, the re-learning method to reinforce material over the course of the four years spent in medical school and much more. Additionally, a lot of construction went into the new areas and availability of course materials. The standardized patient facility is excellent as well. Lastly and most importantly, the students, faculty and admission staff that I met with were sincere, outgoing, enthusiastic and very helpful." Report Response
