4 /5 bienaventurado z Hernandez: Miami Regional University (MRU) offers excellent infrastructure and high-quality academic preparation. Based on my experience during the Master of Science program, I would like to highlight some areas for improvement. In particular, the online program lacks adequate attention and communication from the program directors, Natalie Jimenez and Lisandra Sanchez. In an online learning environment, where communication is crucial, the lack of responsiveness made the experience frustrating at times. While the majority of professors are excellent, there are a few whose teaching standards, in my opinion, should be reconsidered. I would like to express my respect and gratitude to Dr. Oliva, Dr. Ferrer, and Dr. Sonia Alonso for their exceptional contributions. However, I believe Dr. James would benefit from enhancing her professionalism and providing better academic support, particularly in her classes. Many of her students are foreign medical professionals who often possess comparable levels of training, and they can discern when a lecturer is not fully prepared or qualified to present the material.
In terms of communication, the departmental extensions for the masters program are consistently unavailable, with voicemails often being full. On a positive note, the admissions, registration, library, and finance departments are efficient, professional, and very supportive. The overall staff is warm and always willing to assist students.Aside from the challenges within the online masters program, MRU operates excellently and provides a high standard of academic preparation. This is demonstrated by the ease with which graduates are able to pass their board exams upon completion of the program. Miami Regional University is a great place for international students to consolidate their medical knowledge and adapt to the U.S. evaluation system. For those without a medical background, I highly recommend this university, as the professors I mentioned above are dedicated to helping students understand complex concepts and develop critical thinking skills.
Thank you, MRU, for the opportunity.
