-: I was very impressed with the medical school curriculum.
We had a four-pronged approach to medical school,
the four domains, as they're referred to,
basic science, clinical science,
research and interprofessionalism.
And we're the only medical school in the country
that has its own department of interprofessionalism.
It's a relatively unique part of our curriculum.
It's where we work with nursing students and PA students
as part of our medical school curriculum
to learn about teamwork, which is essential in healthcare.
Because as soon as you're in it,
you're working with nurses and doctors
and physician assistants
and all the other ancillary providers that you come across.
So I think that was a unique aspect that was very helpful.
But really, just their attention to detail
and the small class size I think was a huge asset for us,
where we got a lot attention from our faculty early on,
and that helped not only with learning the material
throughout the breadth of the curriculum,
but also with mentorship
and everything that goes into getting into residency.
It takes a lot legwork to organize the applications
to do all the academic advising,
and then all my mentors
that wrote me letters or recommendation.
It's very unique when you have a small class
and everyone knows everyone.
You really feel like you're getting that attention
that maybe you wouldn't get at a larger medical school.
So I felt very lucky to have that.
