Ill have to give you the "public med school" vantage now. The studies are a complete joke really, classes are just a formality, they dont explain anything simple and the teachers/professors/doctors, whatever they are, they get paid the same no matter what and most of them are uninterested, they just want to ramble off as much as they can and say they covered that. Basically, your not taught, just dictated too. In RMC, powerpoint or "the multimedia" is rarely used.

We get examined once in a while with short tests, like 5 questions and they expect you to write 20 pages for those and with that your lucky if they even give you a 60% score.

In RMC, the resources ... what resources. We dont even have proper chairs to sit in, sometimes we sit on the floor of the stairs. I'm assuming your talking about computers.. maybe the internet. Hey man, this is govt education!

The ONE thing we have bragging rights in govt school over all the other schools? CLINICAL EXPERIENCE. At rmc we are affiliated with three hospitals, we have TONS of patients and its all hands on do whatever you want and the training is actually pretty decent.

I'd say the atmosphere in class is odd. You cant smile, chew gum, look away from the teacher, they like to pick on you, make you stand up and ask you random questions. Its basically just find a good thing to stare at and act like your paying attention.
