Score 1 is fun for like, a day. Then you start having them when you have to study and it's not as fun 😛 . Overall I think it's a really cool thing the school does but I'm a med student so I like to complain about losing study time lol
Yes. Its called 1+3 or something.
I'm over Score 1 right now. After doing like 20 physical exams on kids...
I love Score 1. I love working with the kids. Also in Joplin is Community Clinic in second year. I love that so much.
1 hour of lecture and 2 hours of lab.
I'm sure they would help if you reached out and asked. There are tons of contacts the school has that they provide to club e-boards (so like, the EM club, surgery club, etc) for speakers, and usually those docs give out their info at the meetings. So, if you asked the school, I'm sure they'd have some people you could contact.
That sounds amazing thanks!
The first time, great, one kid, 2nd time, ok, yeah fine. 3rd time, ehhh
Oh ok, I assume because of all of the hospitals in the KC area it's not really a problem to find doctors for shadowing?
I’m not sure if you were referring to the Joplin campus or the KC campus, But on the joplin campus they have you working in the nearby hospitals for a couple hours each semester, we’ve done the three score 1‘S, and we've got a free community clinic that they get us involved in starting second year.
No, in fact we on the KC campus were told that the new simulation center was built here because the Joplin was so new and had better equipment, so its actually like us catching up to them. Overall, there aren't really that many differences between the campuses other than location and size, as far as the education goes its the same.
To add to this. It hopefully is giving KC more rooms from what I understand. What they told us is that what will take KC 4 days to complete SPs will hopefully knock it down to 2, as it takes Joplin 2 days.
Chill, don't write a letter, patience is a virtue
10/19 interviewer right there with ya! It looks like on last year’s thread 10/18 and 10/19 interviewers heard back on 11/19. So hopefully we’ll hear back soon!
I don't think it's really more intense...med school is intense no matter where you go. We follow a two-pass system, it's the 'Dubin method' if you've heard of that before. Basically, in M1 you'll go through each system in blocks, learning the normal anatomy and physiology. Second year, you'll go through all those systems again, but learning pathology, clinical medicine, and pharmacology. I really like the curriculum and it was a major reason why I chose KCU.
AAAAHHHH 11/19 LAST YEAR HOLY FRICK
A couple of times at Freeman in first year. Community clinic and 2x a semester at Freeman 2nd year. We also had the opportunity to attend ENT residency didactics but they always conflicted with my PCM labs
Nope, I interviewed around the same time last year and heard back ~December 20ish.

Yeah improved slightly but they are still below the national pass rate for first time test takers.Just to clarify, and NOT defending Nova in any way shape or form, but their Board Scores have improved in the last year.

Well I think KCU is the cheapest option of the 3 tuition wise, ATSU is too rural for me, and TUNCOM dosent have the best board pass rates, but TUNCOM is closer to your home and you know you get to stay there all 4 years, so thats a benefit. It's gonna come down to what do you want from a school/location
Do you happen to know how likely it is to get assigned to the KC region for clerkships? I'm just not sure since I don't have ties to the city or state if they'll want to prioritize those who do. But I would want to stay in the KC region. I'm probably getting to picky at this point lol.
I hear clerkships out of state (ESPECIALLY the west coast) are hard to get and about 80% of them stay in state). This question was actually asked during our interview. If that’s a big deciding factor and you need your support system, stay close to home. Ultimately it’s you who goes through your education and if the environment doesn’t set you up for success it doesn’t matter which school it is. You determine how well you do with the education you’re given. If you work your butt off, you’re going to succeed no matter where you go. You can’t be guaranteed a close spot for your clerkship.
Gotcha gotcha. Thanks for the information and the insight! And I completely agree with you in that it's really up to me on choosing a school that will fit my needs. With regards to the clerkships, I was primarily interested in how easy it is to stay in Kansas City. If I choose to go KCU, I would want to stay in Kansas all four years if possible, so thank you for that information! 🙂
They try to roll out a lot of decisions before the christmas holiday, so it is highly likely you will hear back from them by 12/20. Last year I interviewed on December 1st, and got my Decision on December 21st. So hopefully you only have to wait a month, and will get a nice christmas present!Also interviewed 11/20 and was surprised to see how large the interview group per session was. I really liked the school and everyone there, so hoping for the best! Just don't know how I'll pass these next six weeks now
It's not that late. Relax!
So its not really assigned. We rank them and it's like the match process. You can write a letter to appeal to get a certain one, and you can also swap with other students.
