Most of the students live in communities about 3 miles away, closer to where the new school location will be. Construction is set to be done in phases which will take place over the next 1-3 years (school, dorm, administration, etc) The blue prints have already been drawn out is available at school if you do visit. The land has been bought with conditions already set with deadlines to meet with the construction of the buildings.

All courses are 8 months long, giving plenty of time to study in lecture classes. Case-based learning helps with integration of all the materials. The early clinical exposure helps with applying the knowledge learned at the school. In the end, we receive the live prep from Kaplan and 7 weeks of clinical medicine rotation. This gives plenty of time to study and pass step one.
Are the shelf exams only for basic sciences or for clinical rotations also?

the shelf exams are for only for all basic science classes currently. there are talks for having the NBME exams for the clinical students in the future, although we have a 100% passing rate on step 2 with another person taking it soon.
