Background info: I have HPSP scholarship so the cost of school and the cost of living is not a factor. Entering med school I am leaning towards residency in orthopedics. My strengths are clinical; my weakness is pure sciences.
ATSU SOMA:
Pros:
-Early clinical cycle, would like to work in a CHC 1 day a week as a break from academics
-location of the school and my top 3 CHC choices.
-small group learning 2nd year at CHC
Cons:
-less focus on ultrasound
-Minimal international experience opportunities
-less focus on the biosciences, (I see that being one of my weaker areas entering med school)
-limited anatomy dissection
Unsure if positive or not:
-Different type of curriculum
-Historically I have been an in-class learner, haven't had to try distance learning
ATSU Kirksville:
Pros:
-Liked the anatomy teacher I interviewed with
-Not as much a primary care focus
-Ultrasound program
-Interesting electives
Cons:
-location of school ( I'm from Boston and pretty done with winters)
-No clinic for 1 &2nd year
-Not as new facilities
Unsure if positive or not:
-Alumni network
CUSOM:
Pros:
-1 week breaks for international trips
-Ultrasound program
-They seem to be very active in setting up interview rotations and helping with residency matching
-New facilities
Cons:
-Dress code with tie
-mandatory attendance
-Housing situation seems to not be great
-Less established school
