What impressed you positively?

"I was impressed by the other applicants! Also liked the PBL pathway and the opportunity to not constantly be in class. The lake is beautiful!" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The facilities - the anatomy lab did not seem very modern and appeared somewhat unclean. Must wear business casual even to dissections. Dirty looking white coats for public use in anatomy lab. Students seemed unenthusiastic. Winters sound terrible. Unimpressed with town of Erie." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"How low-stress the group interview was!" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I felt there were both positive and negative aspects to this program. I loved the idea of problem based learning in a group setting, allowing for unique approach to clinical education and less time in-class. Did not like that there are no dissections for PBL. Students seemed to have somewhat of a low morale. Anatomy lab needs some serious renovations. Did not mind business casual dress but felt that it was unnecessary and silly to require that during dissections. The town of Erie had a lot of strip malls and was so-so. Great outdoor experiences and beautiful park at Presque Isle!" Report Response
