Program Disadvantages
Private clinic experience.
1/3 patients don't speak english, compete with MEEI for open globes
Clinics are tiny, not enough space. Small number of faculty. High cost of living.
Very busy, old facilities
2nd tier, mostly indigent population; resident bragged that they had translator phones on poles to bring with them from room to room
Clinics can get very busy with long waits. County-like population.
?Maybe don't have as much research as MEEI, but crazy solid program.
No research (but new Chair Dr. Christiansen trying to improve), very young faculty
- busy call, 'busy program'
