What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Kansas City is quite cold during the winter season. Much of the day was spent walking around campus from building-to-building. Since there is no collection of skyscrapers nearby to protect you from the wind, KCUMB's campus will get awfully chilly. Make sure to equip protect yourself with a warm overcoat and scarf (you can leave them in the student lounge during your interview and retrieve them later)." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The entire day was conducted extremely well. From the very beginning, I felt that the opening presentation was informative and helpful. I was impressed with the description of Genesis (their systems oriented curriculum that was has adopted 5 years go). Through Genesis, students begin developing clinical and patient interaction skills very early in training (within 2 months of their 1st year). This apparently has had no drawbacks on the school's board pass-rate (since they incorporated Genesis, KCUMB has had 97% of their students complete Step I). The attitude of the students and staff at KCUMB is very encouraging. Maybe it has to do with being in Missouri, but the people of KCUMB are very polite, energetic and friendly. The students conducting the tour were particularly enthusiastic about the program. I really enjoyed talking with my tour guide Heath as he is planning to go into the same field I am: pediatrics. Much has been said about the dilapidated conditions of the surrounding town. Personally, I feel that this sentiment is a little overblown. Its true that certain portions of the city are a little run-down, there are also many regions that are quite nice. In particular, the plaza area. In any event, the students and professors all assured us that the campus is quite safe." Report Response
