Clinical placement at UHS is not a problem (no one is left to fend for themselves).
However, because of the increasing class size, some of us will not get our "site
of choice". Our rotation sites include Kansas City, various locations in Kansas
and Missouri, Florida, Colorado, NJ/NY, Texas, Ohio, Penn., and Michigan. The
biggest problem involves those of us that wish to stay in KC. We currently have
50 positions, but 80 students have indicated that they want to stay here (our class
size is 208). Our administration has stated that they are actively trying to
increase the number of KC positions, but I doubt that will happen in time for my
class (2001). The positions will be distributed by lottery (next fri.). Also, it
goes without saying that some sites are better than others, but after doing a little
research I'm comfortable with both my 2nd and 3rd choices. Finally, except for the
parking problem (which really isn't a problem if you come to class on time), I've
been very satisfied with my education so far.
