Residencies

Think of the likes of Ross and St. George's, etc. Students from a school that does not get this money (ie-XUSOM), and therefore is not responsible to the American Taxpayer to produce a productive medical professional, is not counted. Residency programs get their money from the Medicare/Medicaid system which is a totally different department (Department of Education vs. Department of Health and Human Services).

Very eyeopening to find the truth out about the stats. But the original question and answer is useful too. Hope that helps.

Very interestig, yes. So the actual competency levels of all img's is in question. But to the point, I am entiteled to privacy. I am grateful I was granted admission

I attended xusom.I worked hard and would not be denied. I demand my privacy be respected. They have honored my wishes. I have no complaints whatsoever. Thank you xusom, you believed in me, the rest did not.

Hello...could you elaborate on your experience with Xavier during the clinical years? I'm looking to transfer and I just want a little info about clinicals...thanks!

Will I be able to practice in NY from this school???? I notice they say by end of the year NY will be ok, but I notice thats been the case for awhile, can someone please honestly answer. Thanks

I am a few electives from being done with rotations graduation etc... However XUSOM is disgustingly greedy and outside of AY. the staff of JL and MF are childish immature, delusional and ignorant to the needs of the students. Trying to figure out how the diploma and ecfmg cert work is like pulling teeth because they respond with "we can't help you" over and over... Trying to get rotations is a joke even if you pay tuition they always put 3 week lag period between paying and starting rotations...furthurmore when trying to discuss why so many weeks are missed they comeback with there is nothing we can do because you took the time off for vacation!... They hoenstly believe while we are sitting around waiting for them to put us in rotations week after week it is actually our fault because we are on "Vacation" I am more than pissed with the staff but at the end of the day they hold my diploma so I have to suck it up. Hopefully I match in a few weeks and I will never look back or give credit to the school for me matching because in honesty I have done everything from passing steps to setting rotations etc on my own...xavier just happens to be the name on the diploma.
