For those that have interviews coming up, could you ask these following questions to the deans for me?
1) What is the relationship between BUCOM and Baptist Memorial Health?
-Will BUCOM graduates be favored for a residency spot at any of their hospitals with a residency program?
-I guess what I want to know is... are they actually pretty tight? or is bucom just trying to make the relationship seem more close than it really is to use it as a selling point
2) How is the inaugral class eligible for a federal loan?
-Everywhere I've looked, it says that the school needs to be fully accredited for its student to get the federal loan. I'm sorta wondering if there is a catch that they are not telling us about
3) How is 1st and 2nd year courses scheduled?
-Is it block schedule? (I really hope its block schedule bc I would hate to have a cumulative final at the end of each semester)
-How many exams per week? (I wondering if they are going to do many tests that are worth little or few tests that are worth alot)
-Will we be given some time during the 2nd year dedicated for boards studying?
If you could ask these questions in this order (bc you speak to the dean of clinical affairs, financial aid officer and dean of academic affairs in that order), I'd be sooooooooo grateful! I honestly should have asked these question on my interview day but I was so nervous I just forgot lol.
THank you in advance!
