Within my first two years alone, they helped me attain a national leadership position in the American Medical Women s Association, valuable research experience in and out of the institution, and supported my travel overseas to study international medicine. I can imagine no other institution giving students that kind of dedicated individual attention and support. Tanya C. Warwick, MS-IV Attending Marshall University has given me the chance to experience the advantages of a larger college as well as the intimacy and closeness of a smaller program. The faculty and staff foster a family-like atmosphere, as they are always available for extra assistance and guidance. Because of the limited class size, professors are able to provide a high level of personal attention and quality instruction.
Professors routinely meet with students and schedule reviews in the evenings and over weekends.
Furthermore, your opinions are taken seriously, and student evaluations are actually used to make changes in curriculum. My four years at Marshall University School of Medicine set the ground work for what has become a very rewarding academic orthopedic surgery practice. After completion of my M.D. degree, I started my residency in orthopedic surgery in Morgantown at West Virginia University Hospital. I found I had been well prepared during my clinical years at Marshall. After residency, I completed an orthopedic surgery trauma fellowship in Seattle, Wash., at Harborview Medical Center.
