I would like to be involved in research during medical school, but none of these schools put much emphasis on research. That's why I didn't factor research in. Thanks!
Pros
- MD school- I want to work overseas in the future. Many countries give accreditation to MDs, unlike DOs.
- Close to home/family.
- Cheaper tuition- 35k.
- State-of-the-art Surgical Skills Center (I was very impressed with this building during my interview).
- Interviewed in Springfield campus- don't really know what their anatomy labs, classrooms etc. in Carbondale campus look like.
- Problem based learning- I don't think this is a real con, but it is different than a traditional curriculum.
Pros
- One of original 5 DO schools- administration seemed to know what they were doing.
- Really liked the atmosphere/ talking to current students.
- Interviewed in Joplin campus- don't really know what their anatomy labs, classrooms etc. in Kansas City campus look like.
- Very far away from home.
- More expensive- 47k.
Pros
- Really liked the atmosphere/ talking to current students.
- Small campus- wouldn't need to drive much and spend that time studying instead.
- Close to home/ family.
- Newer school.
- Most expensive- 50k.
- Had an awkward experience with one of my interviewers.
