School Info

Founded in 1868, the Wayne State University School of Medicine it is the largest single-campus medical school in the nation with more than 1,000 medical students. In addition to undergraduate medical education, the school offers master's degree, Ph.D. and M.D.-Ph.D. programs in 14 areas of basic science to about 400 students annually.

Curriculum

Traditionally, the first two years are designated as the Basic Science curriculum. Matt Jackson, PhD., Interim Assistant Dean for Basic Science Curriculum, is in charge of this portion of the medical school curriculum. Included here are courses in Anatomy, Histology, Embryology, Biochemistry, Physiology, and Neurosciences in the first year; and Immunology/Microbiology, Pathobiology, Organ-System Pathophysiology in the second year. A clinical medical course runs through both years, integrating many smaller courses such as Introduction to the Patient, Evidence-Based Medicine, Medical Ethics, Human Sexuality, Preventive Medicine, Public Health, Interviewing and Physical Diagnosis into a sequence of cased-based teaching modules taught in small groups. Midway through the third year, students typically being to choose an advisor and focus on postgraduate (Residency) training. The residency application process begins in the summer of the fourth year, with interviews for most specialties in the fall and early winter. Match lists for the National Residency Matching Program are due in February of your senior year, with results announced in mid-March. Senior students are required to take the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 2 before graduation, and beginning with the Class of 2005, passage of this examination will be a requirement for graduation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"Need a admission presentation with tuition cost, scholarships, clinical sites for 3&4th years. Financial aid. It was very unhelpful to watch a video of the Detroit children's choir. It was very unorganized. A lot of waiting. Very limited campus tour of just a few rooms in medical school, library. I would have liked to see more. Did not feel like I learned anything about the program that would make me want to move OOS to attend." More from this Member | Report Response

"To be more prepared, there was a lot of things that went wrong but the first person I met from the school made a comment how "early" I was and proceeded to disappear to find more folders since she only had 2. It of course, is not a big deal. But it makes interviewers feel like we spent so much time and effort to be there and we are excited and then there's not a lot of effort by the school and you cant help but think they really don't care."

"Interesting patient population" | Report Response

"Flexibility. I loved that there was a lot of diverse pathophysiology. Unfortunately there is a lot of medically underserved people there." | Report Response

"Clinical opportunities early - Student Run Clinics and M2 Clinical Experiential Clerkship program. P4 (Population, Patient, Physician, & Professionalism) Course covers pertinent public health, ethics, and more regarding treating patients. This school deeply engages with the community; Detroit is a unique environment in which to experience all types of clinical scenarios - a breadth which you will not find elsewhere." | Report Response

"Clinical experience and pathology. You will see things in Detroit you won't see anywhere else. And because the hospitals are chronically understaffed, you will get to do more than many of your colleagues at other schools." | Report Response

"The quality of clinical rotations in third year is unmatched. The teaching at the affiliated hospitals that students rotate at combined with the volume and diversity of pathology is tremendous. Students leave Wayne State fully prepared to function as more than competent interns, often moreso than other programs that are viewed as more prestigious." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"With such a large class size things slip through the cracks sometimes ...need to advocate for yourself" | Report Response

"The patient population was a bit overwhelming at times." | Report Response

"Their new curriculum is poorly executed. Furthermore, they routinely ask for student feedback but ignore it completely. Communication is a huge problem - the administrators and faculty do not communicate with each other or the students. This breakdown in communication is pervasive and causes a lot of added stress to students. An example of this is when the start date of M2 was suddenly changed weeks before M1 was about to end and students found out that they would not receive financial aid as expected. Students were panicked, many wondering how they would pay for food and rent. Administrators refused to have a Town Hall with students. Ultimately, the start date was changed back to the original, and because of the mistake of financial aid, the school issued a stipend (which for many helped, but was still not enough)." | Report Response

"Generally unresponsive administration (this is changing fast). Poor coordination between/among lecturers in different topics- we often get taught the same thing multiple times. Teaching to step 2 rather than step 1." | Report Response

"The quality of the support staff working for student affairs, financial aid, etc. at times is frustratingly poor. It can be difficult to obtain things like transcripts, signatures for forms, etc." | Report Response

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.
