Hi all,
I'm still waiting to hear back from some med schools, but out of the two I am most seriously considering, one has a 2 year pre-clinical curriculum and the other has a 1.5 year pre-clinical curriculum? I wanted to ask current med students what their opinions are on their own curriculum.
Just from talking to my friends:
Benefits of 1.5 year curriculum:
More clinical opportunities
Less chance of burnout during preclinical years
Issues:
The volume of med school is already hard, and this makes it even harder during preclinical years.
What opportunities are feasible within 6 months? Not that many
I was just hoping for some input to help me make a decision.
Thank you!!
