Mercer is great! The people at the school are wonderful and the learning style is quite different and rather challenging. There are no lectures at all... you just meet with a small group 3 days a week and work on solving case studies... it's nice because it is a multidisciplinary approach and doesn't separate "path" from, say "biochem"... since there are no lectures though, there is a lot of outside studying required (but that is normal for med schools). Also, clinical skills starts your first semester in medical school, so right off the bat you are exposed to standardized patients (unlike other schools that wait until your 3rd year).. as a result, last year Mercer had a 100% pass rate for Step II. You also have something called "Community Medicine," where you spend a total of 2 months over the 4 years in a rural, underserved community. Overall, Mercer is wonderful and the students are friendly and fairly non- competitive with one another (as far as med schools go)...
