I don't want to jump the gun since the ink is barely dry on my completed app here, but I'm getting a little unsure about the Capstone project. I mean, med students have a lot on their plates already . . . If Oakland is adding this enormous project (and granted I did see "class time" devoted to it on their course schedule) what are they taking out to make up for it?
I mean, obviously students can get publications, good experience, etc. out of it, but if I wanted to do a 4-year long project, wouldn't I be going for my PhD, or MD/PhD?
Any current students or Oakland visitors have insight here?
