welcome to southwestern, just WAIT til 3rd year……
yeah, I had classes with Dr. Gilman, he’s definatly the ‘old school’ type, although from what I understood was only suppossed to be interim. That change happened as I was leaving UTSW, though, so that could have changed. Either way, southwestern is VERY traditional school in many ways, so shouldn’t have been TOO much of a surprise to anyone familar with the normal UTSW personality. Certainly the programs at some other med schools I am now more familar with are more “student oriented”, vs the prevailing feeling is “toughen up” at southwestern. They say that “This is why southwestern students are preferred by many residencies, they know they are getting hardened, seasoned residents”
Certainly I found that was true, as I had no problems matching.. so over all I am really indebted to UTSW for that. And it prepared me, toughness and sleeplessness wise, because our 3rd year was so tough. But, those 1st years, until a new dean comes in, pretty much can expect to have that prevailing ‘feel’ throughout their 4 years.

Interesting
This is interesting what happened at UT Southwestern.
All we need is for something like this to happen at UAG…
Actually let’s not even pretend. The administration is bad
enough as it is.
