What impressed you positively?

"The camaraderie, almost a feeling of family, among students, who all seemed incredibly interesting, down-to-earth and incredibly friendly and proud of their school. The aura of professionalism, history and tradition that permeated everything. The fact that the school seems to really emphasize the well-being and of the students (exams on Fridays so students can relax on weekends, no curve so as to minimize competition, H/P/F grading), a huge amount of resources available for students to pursue their interests and receive guidance (JEFFHope, research opportunities, CWIC, informal mentoring programs, etc.). An emphasis on driving home clinical skills in students with frequent practice starting from the first year so skills like placing central lines etc. are rock-solid at the end of the four years. A sense of pride and purpose in educating future physicians." Report Response
