OK, so Ive got a huge decision to make. Im in the envious position of picking between KCUMB and DMU, and I'm having problems. Every day this past week I have been alternating on which school I want to send my deposit to and its driving me crazy. I am not asking anyone to make decisions for me, nor will my decision be based purely on SDN jabber. I just want to see if anyone has some advice or information that I don't know about either of these schools. Here's where Im coming from:
-yes I got the "feeling" at both of these places, and it was special
-they are about the same price when all is said and done
-their board pass rates and all of that good stuff are very comparable
-KCUMB is in a little bit cooler of a town, but Im really not looking for a place to go and paint the town red...in other words the location is not really a factor between these two
-The genesis (integrated) curriculum at KCUMB seemed like a great concept, and I was very intrigued. would it be more effective than DMU's curriculum though?
-DMU's facilities were nicer...but does the surgical skills lab and all that extra stuff actually help all that much?
-Im not interested in international rotations at this point, so I don't really care which one is stronger in this area
Questions I have:
-If things go well down the road I might consider general surgery, will either place possibly give me a leg up in this route?
-I have NO idea how to compare the quality of rotations at these schools. They are both very old and very established and thats all I have to go off of.
-If you are reading this, attend either of these schools, and have completed any rotations can you tell me about your experiences???
Thanks in advance,
DokB
