Yeah they're sticking it to you guys now......."buy this steth/optho set (while they get a kickback), buy these books, up your tuition every year". Just remember that after you graduate and they come peddling you for alumni money. You be sure to tell Wilsie/El Sawi/Pletz they can take they're begging elsewhere.
At one point in time, I would have placed my first two years at KCUMB against any med school in the country. But now I even question that,since all the faculty that were of any value to the student body are leaving in droves or should I say have been run out of town by the admin.
Clinical years??? what a joke!!!! you are basically left to fend on your own. The quality of education on the wards is substandard. Some preceptors are awesome and some could careless about you at all. All you are to them is CME credit. Good luck trying to get any help from the admin regarding the match and residency. All they care about at this point is whether or not your FAFSA is in on time so they can get that tuition money.
I have made it my personal mission to tell every prospective student to run from this instituion. To be fair, it is possible to come here, keep you nose to the grindstone, act like a good little drone and graduate onto bigger and better things. But don't dare speak your mind or think for yourself during the process.
My advice to all that choose to go here ; keep an eye on the big picture and get through this gestapo like experience. Once out, you can forget about this place and don't forget, you can then hit em where it hurts ............their pocketbook. DO NOT CONTRIBUTE when you are an alumni. I know I won't and every classmate that I know also feels the same.
