What's so great about Temple's clinical years?

[DoctorWannaBe]

I'm trying to write the essay about why I want to go to Temple, and I was wondering if anyone can give me any specifics about the 3rd and 4th year. I have heard that students there get great clinical experiences, but can anyone elaborate on why, or can someone point me to a thread that will help me? None of my searches on the forum have been very helpful. Thanks!

you see a lot of trauma, gunshot/knife wounds. the children's hospital doesn't have a residency program, so you work directly under the attendings. the hospitals are new and awesome, and the patient population there is underprivileged, so you get to see all of what is wrong with the US health care system. see for yourself.

A lot of fools get shanked and shot near Temple.
