Hi everyone, I'm very lucky to have a choice between two schools and I'm not sure which to go with. I want to do my residency in northern ca (maybe internal medicine?) I am from northern ca and did undergrad there. Thank you for all the help!
CNUCOM
Pros
- Closer to home
- Northern CA rotations (good for residency matching ties?)
Cons
- Preclinical is honors/high pass/pass
- 2 year preclinical
- No teaching hospital
CUSM
Pros
- Preclinical is P/F
- 1.5 years Preclinical
- 6 months professional development semester
- Teaching hospital
Cons
- No norcal ties
- Farther from support system
