Just like everyone is saying, this school is terrible, in every way possible. They love to fail students just to make them repeat the school year (you know, so they can charge you another year of tuition).
Makes sense why they graduate students with the highest debt burden in the Nation!
You teach yourself here if you want to survive. Learned how to be a doctor from YouTube, Pathoma, and Sketchy Med ….. How sad is that. Do yourself a favor, go anywhere else!!!!!!!!!
Biggest regret of my life attending this place! Can’t believe I gave up scholarship to other institutions to come here.
best school ever
…Worst mistake of your life. So very true. It’s one thing to teach yourself Math for Liberal Arts Majors online but it’s quite another to teach yourself medicine, much less apply it one day, on actual living beings. WUHS students can gain the same knowledge base by spending their days with 5 of their peers, brainstorming what topics are relevant enough to study, all while sitting at Starbucks.
At least the med school gives out a few handouts, so their professors actually print study tools. Whereas, in the vet college, the professors are instructed “not to teach.” They wouldn’t even know how to construct a study guide for their own program because most, if not all of the faculty attended traditional veterinary colleges–where they were taught what was important. They babble about how time consuming their jobs are but from the looks of it, all of the veterinary college faculty seem to split their time equally between gathering around the water cooler or waltzing around campus to sun themselves, ironically, just like snakes do.
Students teach themselves the most complex topics, then memorize/study from old board exam questions that they found online so they can pass the state and national exam. That’s the WUHS academic experience. Come graduation, WUHS-CVM brass and faculty hands out DVM degrees as if they had some profound role in a student’s academic success and finally the student is a doctor from an accredited school in the US. Let’s face it, consumers generally don’t accept doctors who graduated from Mexico or the Caribbean. Consumers have no clue that those programs are far more sound and WUHS banks on that, literally. How’s that for a “humanistic approach?”
And yes, it’s an accredited program but that doesn’t mean much these days because the governing body,the AVMA is under the scrutiny of US Dept of Ed, for for ignoring their own accreditation standards to push WUHS College of Vet Med through that process. Can you smell the sea bass yet?
If it’s acceptable for medical education to be nothing more than a glorified independent study program, why don’t we just let bright people challenge the med/vet board exams and then require them to do multiple years of internships? That way this crackerjack school wouldn’t be preying on students dreams to be in medicine, while smiling all the way to the bank with millions in student loan money.
I am currently medical student at Western U COMP. I must say, reading the above poster that nothing at Western U has changed since 2009. Deciding to attend this university is one of the biggest mistakes I have made in my life. There are a handful of good faculty who genuinely want the best for their students and care to help you learn and succeed. However, most of the faculty are malignant and incompetent. Most of your learning is done on your own with little or no help from the professors.
The biggest problem with this school are the top level administrators (ie the president, trustees, accountants). There is constant unrest among students and faculty alike, yet nothing ever gets done to improve the current status of the school. Any administrators that care to improve the school, advocate for the students, or inquire into the finances of the school are outed by the board of trustees. The turnover rate of important administrators in the time I have been here has been deplorable.
This is one, if not the most expensive medical schools in the United States and the school offers noting to show for it. The president and the board intent on extracting as much as they can from their students while offering as little as possible in return. The president (I wont name names) has had past indictments for tax fraud and it seems that someone is still cooking the books.
Please do your research before coming here. If it your only option and you are dead on set on becoming a physician then, I guess, I could justify attending this school. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
I left a well known graduate school to attend western U’s “medical school” with thoughts of becoming a doctor and doing good in society. This was a big mistake. This school is corrupt. The administration is filled with egotistic individuals who want to fill their own pockets by mortgaging the futures of their students. They do not even teach, none the less support their students. I do not recommend this school at all. save your money.
