USC Keck School of Medicine

First off, I would have to say that of all the medical schools in California, USC would be my #1 choice of attendance. Why? Mostly because my first volunteer experience happened at County while I was preceptor. The experience was exhilarating as well as insightful into how a busy hospital that caters to people from all walks of life. What struck me most about this hospital was the fact that while the staff was always continuously running around busily, the staff was polite, curteous, and above all, treated patients exceptionally. Never had I encountered such a wonderful experience as I did those 6 months as an preceptor.
As for USC campus, the campus is one of the best I have ever seen. Perhaps its just that I am a Southern California girl and while I visited UCLA campus before, I feel USC has more to offer to students who are sincerely interested in serving the underserved population.
The library itself is a masterpiece....I fell in love with the library the moment I stepped into it. I never wanted to leave...there is so much information available to students!
Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the daily life of a medical student, but I can tell you this -- this medical school cannot be beat....though the price is high, the education at this institute has no compare!

Ok, I have a few question. Everyone knows about the UCLA vs. USC rivalry. The problem between choosing either school is trying to find someone that is not biased.
Is USC worth the additional cost? I heard UCLA has an awsome hospital and medical program, etc... I just keep hearing the same from both sides!
Is there an unbiased person out there that knows about these schools and could say which one is better. Maybe not. Maybe I will just have to stick to reading statistics, or visit them myself.
I have visited UCLA, and love everything about it, but I want to go look at USC before I decide.
Oh, and there is also UCI that I heard has a good medical program too... |

I definately think we need to have a place where it lists how expensive the units are. But I believe that you can easily just go to the web and find out there. |

Does the USC Keck School of Medicine have a Medical Scientist Training Program? What about possible undergraduate research opportunities sponsored by the NIH? |

does anyone have any information on out of state applicants? Is it basically a long-shot to gain acceptance if you're not a california resident?

3 words- County, County, County. I went to UCLA as an undergrad, did my penance by volunteering and working over at the Med Center, and I chose USC over UCLA hands down, despite the ranking status of UCLA and cost. You just can't get the same clinical experience at UCLA's med center. To me, a "good medical program" was defined as one that would give me a kick ass clinical education- and if you spend your clinical years in a hospital filled with the poorest of the poor, I think you emerge as an intern who has already seen stuff that you just don't see anywhere else. Choose USC if this is important to you.

I ran across your comment from August 18th (above) and am very concerned that you have a negative image of the library. Since you're a third year student and have two more years to go, I'd sincerely appreciate it if you would contact me (either in person or by phone) and discuss your concerns so that if possible, we can address them and make the library more responsive to your needs during your remaining time at USC.

The library at USC med school SUCKS... i'm a student there... but the education is Top Notch... and clinical experience is one of the best in the US. We also held the first medical marijuana conference in Southern California this year...
