I was wondering since UIWSOM is a private, catholic university is there justification for them to expel a student for identifying as part of the LGBTQ+ community? I know other private, religious schools like BYU have that right. How are the students perception toward members of the LGBTQ+ community?

Thanks,

I believe that today’s Supreme Court ruling on anti-discrimination for LGBTQ+ and trans people also applies to schools. But if UIWSOM can protect a racist student and not support their LGBTQ+ students, then that’s another issue.

From what I’ve heard UIWSOM is respectful of everyone’s beliefs. Don’t bash on them just because they have religious beliefs..

Nobody was bashing anyone’s religious beliefs.

I'm not bashing on anybody. I was strictly wondering if this has been a previous problem with members of the LGBTQ+ community attending UIWSOM.

To the best of my knowledge, they don’t. The student that did my tour was a gay man who talked about where he and his boyfriend were living in San Antonio.

That’s a great idea.. I didn’t get the email either but I have a MS. Did anyone who does have a masters get this email??

 

[Dr. Brew]

I do not have a MS and I didn’t receive the email.

I have a M.S and didn’t hear anything either. Not sure what to make of it..

 

[Coffee&Scrubs26]

They usually offer masters programs to students who they think would benefit from it.

Amazing, congrats! Can you please share your stats?

 

[txmedgirly]

I did not receive the MBS email. My stats are pretty average compared to their accepted students profile from last year so don't lose faith!! I did send in a LOI and an extra LOR but I don't know if that made a difference

I love the program so far! I messaged you so we can talk more if you want- would love to answer any questions you might have

They released board scores over 6 months ago. The class of 2021 pass rate was 83.2% and the average score was in the upper 400s. It was posted here in this forum.

Looks like they went to Western COMP. This was last year.

Current student, I can hopefully provide some clarifications:

1) Faculty - The faculty are great - well educated, good teachers, and super friendly. Some are experts in the flipped classroom curriculum and can guide you to the answer without ever giving you the answer (which is the goal), while some new faculty don't understand how to and you can have some difficulty there. Big issues come for "office hours." We have open office hours for OMT, anatomy, and lectures (2 hours a week for each), but individual faculty office hours do not exist. You have to email the faculty you want to talk to and set up an appointment (hence why some people complain about accessibility). This is not a difficult process, just tedious. 90% of the time, you can set up a meeting for the next day. High turnover rate is an issue, but the consensus is that almost every time a new faculty member has been brought over, they've been better than the last.

2) Rotations - Current rotations sites are San Antonio (Christus, Baptist, Methodist), Laredo (Various medical systems), and Kerrville (Peterson). You submit your preference for where you want to go, and you mostly get assigned accordingly. 8 spots in Laredo, 4 in Kerrville, rest stayed in San Antonio. Everyone that went to Laredo - ranked Laredo as their #1 preference. However, 2 of the people being sent to Kerrville, did not rank Kerrville as their #1 preference. Word is the school will soon be adding Corpus Christi as one of the locations. Exceptions: If you can prove spouse, property ownership, or children in SA - you stay in SA.

3) EMT - You take an online EMT course - mainly modules throughout Unit 1 - 8 week unit. After that you have to complete TWO 12-hour ambulance ride-alongs, and ONE 12-hour ER shift. They are made to provide clinical exposure but there are mixed responses. One of our students was on the ambulance that responded to the church mass shooting 2 years ago, while another had no calls what so ever and did nothing on the ambulance for 12 hours. SO, it REALLY varies as you would expect hence mixed feedback. But it's very little time you put in (retrospective), and you get EMT certified (hurray).

Feel free to ask another questions.

Hi eaglehawk,

Do you know which location for San Antonio sites? Like Christus, Baptist, & Methodist at the medical center or the ones downtown? Is it better to live more central during clinical rotations versus living near campus? Thanks!
