Program Disadvantages
Faculty is small and they don't cover all subs.
A little small. Again, not necessarily a bad thing.
no county hospital, VA that is far away
Facility feels outdated. Somewhat small faculty. Park far away.
Small program.
Small program with a small number of faculty. Small clinic areas but they do pack a lot within that area.
