<p>Look beyond the colorful brochures of the UMKC program, they are sugarcoated to say the least. Look to find out why UMKC is the lowest ranked program in the country, why they get the lowest NIH grant, why the teaching quality is so deficient, why the students struggle to actually graduate in 6 years, why the attrition rate is so high, why they won’t tell you the average USMLE score when all other schools will, and so many more factors that puts UMKC med in the lowest tier. </p>
<p>It would be a very costly mistake to give up DARTMOUTH or NORTHWESTERN for UMKC.</p>
