Hey all, I interviewed yesterday and will give a few highlights -
- Talk with Dean Smith in the AM
- 2 30-45 min interviews
- FinAid talk
- Tour of med school building
- Lunch
- Bus tour to affiliate hospitals/simulation center
Overall the day was a little long but definitely very informative. The new med school building looks a little plain from the outside but it is beautifully renovated inside with mostly study space, a cafeteria, lecture hall, library, and a structure (anatomy) lab. The admissions staff were extremely friendly and super eager to answer our questions and get feedback since it was their first interview day ever. The curriculum is very non-traditional and has a very heavy case-based, independent study approach with very little lecture time. There are 5-6 fully integrated courses over the first 2 years. The coolest part, I think, would be to be a part of the first class ever, as it opens huge opportunities if you choose to stay with the school/health system.
Any other questions feel free to PM me!
