anyone has any idea what downstate is known for their strong points or any other good things about their school
While the facilities aren't the best, the clinical experience is unlike any other...you see the worst pathology in the nation. Also, there MD/MPH program is 4 years haha
they seem to have a good match list for specialties like em and gas (maybe others, too, but those are the only two i keep an eye on). i don't need more pudding than that.
They're known for providing healthcare to a large population of uninsured working class population around Brooklyn. And their clinical is great, in terms of seeing lots of trauma cases, and doing tons of 'hands-on' training even as an MS. They're well-known for churning out very clinically prepared medical students.
Downstate is a great school. I loved it when I visited. Not only is it known for it's clinical experience, but I also got a great vibe from all of the students I met. They were very down-to-earth and independent.
