HeyillbethatPA Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hello! I just wanted to get some insight into this program. I know it is still relatively new. Are there any students that feel comfortable talking about their experience at Dominican? Responses are greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pros1698 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Hi! I’m a current student at Dominican. Here are my thoughts on this program: I love it! It’s a small program (30 of us in our cohort), so it’s intimate and I feel like I know my classmates and professors very well. It’s a 24 month program so it’s VERY intense. Dominican is a newer program, but it’s a great program and has continued accreditation. Our curriculum is very comprehensive, we have great resources to lean, and our professors are experts in their field (we have PAs, Pharm Ds, and MDs in our faculty). For anatomy, we have 4 prosected cadavers and 2 anatomage tables. For clinical skills we have clinical rooms upstairs where we do our patient encounter exams and OSCE’s. They recently remodeled the basement into a simulation center with ICU rooms, ER rooms, and a big triage area. I chose this program because of the resources and also the location. It’s in River Forest, which is a beautiful suburb and is close to downtown Chicago. A bunch of us actually around the loop. It’s definitely nice to live by the city. There’s a lot to do here! I think Dominican is a great program! I definitely couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else Edited May 20, 2021 by Pros1698 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the program has a preference for in-state students - do you anticipate this trend continues? I'm from Colorado but very interested in the program!

DC2020 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Many applicants are from Illinois, but the program has students from various states across the country. Dominican is a private university, so there is no "preference" for in-state applicants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
