What are your general comments?

"At this stage, I have seen the buliding inside and out and it is the most impressive facility I have seen out of all of the schools I interviewed at previously. VERY state of the art, great technology, great lecture halls, fantastic anatomy and OMM labs...overall best facility. RVUCOM expects 40+ faculty by the time school starts. The standardized patient rooms, of which there are 20, are built to USMLE/COMLEX specifications. When you walk into your Clinical Skills Exams, it'll be like walking into RVU's patient rooms down to every detail. 3,500 sq. ft. dedicated future research space, pending funding. Anatomy theatre with 3-D and 4-D virtual reality capability once the programs become viable enough to utilize as teaching resources. So much more!" Report Response
