PLEASE do it for all the premeds out there. To show you a little about what is said Here is just a short excerpt:
DMU Review
Curriculum: The first year curriculum is fairly well done. Physiology is extremely well done, as is Immunology and Geriatrics. Anatomy and Neuroanatomy are weak. The second year curriculum varies widely. Pharmacology is well taught, GI, Endocrine, and ENT are well done as well. Cardiology, Hematology/Oncology, and Rheumatology/Orthopedics are disasters. The classes are poorly organized and poorly taught. The biggest problem with the second year DMU curriculum is that guest lecturers teach most of the systems classes and the quality of these lectures is inconsistent. In general, the students would be better served if they hired James Earl Jones to read Robbins out loud for four hours a morning.
Also, second year, there is a month long, 24 class hour surgery lab. Interesting information, but it really has no place in a second year curriculum and it significantly takes away from board prep time.
Clinical skills: You spend more time learning how to look like you know what you're doing than actually mastering the skills you'll need to know what you're doing.
Faculty: Inconsistent
I dunno about you but I seriously reconsidered my DMU acceptance when i read this. Please somebody confront this review..... if this is true let those of us know. IF its not please TELL US!!
