Student Reviews
Not for Learning!
Anonymous rated 1 out of 5 stars
The program is quite chaotic. You start of with a core course in the fall, which is a whirlwind of intense facts thrown at you which you are expected to memorize. For example during October we had learned about tropical diseases. What that means is that we we learned around 2-5 diseases per day; their diagnosis, epidemiology, treatment and barely the public health approach...
