Patti S. Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm also debating on applying here. One thing holding me back is that they take principles of medicine III after clinicals which seems odd to me. Does anyone have any info on this? I think it looks like a good program though and I like that they offer medical nutrition therapyThe clinical medicine III is part of the extra semester they offer after clinical year in order to prepare you for the PANCE and clinical practice. That's one of the things I love about their program is the fact that they offer the extra semester to prepare you for your boards and transitioning into the real world. Another perk is the nutrition certification (CNSC) you get and the course on diabetic nutrition therapy.

Patti S. Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Can you tell us what their interview process was like?Were not allowed to say. Interviewees had to sign nondisclosure agreements. All I can say was it was fun and the faculty and staff are super nice. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do clinical medicine I and II cover all the systems then? and clinical medicine III is a review? And I really love that they offer those courses in nutrition, I have a few friends who are dietitians and talking to them has really made me realize how much nutrition integrates into treatment of patients.

I would suggest contacting the program with any questions you may have and if you are able, attend one of the information sessions. Best of luck !!!

It was a very long day, but the faculty was really nice and answered all my questions. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singstar Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 After researching, I just applied to the program ( Hope I'm not too late in the game). I talked to this school's MPH program a few years ago at a pre-health conference =) Also, I noticed only 26 applicants were accepted last cycle. Is CDU planning on expanding this number this year?

lccalbert Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I think they are keeping the numbers low to make sure the students last cycle do well. Its their first class so they would want to keep a stellar passing rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lccalbert Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Don't know if anyone knew this or not but I got to talk to admissions and they said that they have one interview day a month from oct-jan. (4 interview days total) they will invite about 30 applicants on each of those days and start filling their 26 seats on a rolling admission. I didn't know this was the process. I hope this helps those that may have been curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaurn3 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Did anyone else get an email regarding a 3 credit Medical Terminology course? The university I attended only does 1 credit for Medical Terminology, I emailed them back regarding the matter but I have not received a reply yet.

Many were in the same boat as you, but had to find another class to take at another school. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lccalbert Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It is one of those courses that I am taking this fall as a class in progress. Drew is the only program I applied to that has medical terminology as a prereq. But they are my first choice so I'll do what I gotta do, and I'm sure the class will be very enriching. Also, I can't be 100% sure but I was told about 2000 applications are submitted as of last Friday. I'm assuming that most if not all have 3 units for that class. that means there are 2000+ applications for 26 seats. If you don't meet the requirements, I don't think you have a chance. Just my opinion. There are many community colleges that offer it. That's what I'm doing because my university does not have it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AspiringPA18 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Seems like Drew has been pretty quiet lately from the comments (or lack thereof) on this forum. :P Does anyone know approximately how long it takes Drew to confirm receipt of application? I submitted my application on 8/5/16 and have not received any e-mail from Drew. Would you guys recommend to call? I know it has only been a week, but it feels like forever. LOL. Thanks in advance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AspiringPA18 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Thanks, geenamar! That definitely calms down the cabeza a bit. It sounds like it takes about 1-2 weeks. I'll just have to continue taking my chill pill for the next few days. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti S. Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Just keep in mind that they are really busy right now with the incoming class. So don't worry if you haven't heard anything lately.

AspiringPA18 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Finally received a confirmation email. At this point, I wonder if we're late in the game. However, reading through last year's thread it seemed like people who submitted later during the year were still hearing good news from Drew. So, I'm hoping Drew has similar timeline this year.
