  Midwestern stood out from other programs in that the faculty's experience… gave me confidence that they not only knew their field but also knew how to disseminate the knowledge of their field in an expert manner.

• Jessica Watt

  College of Veterinary Medicine, 2024

  I enjoy that we are taught from the start to look at our fellow students as our support system rather than competition. Knowing how versatile, talented, and supportive my class is entering vet school lowers the intimidation factor immensely.

• Allison Rushing, D.P.T.

  College of Health Sciences, 2012

  Being a student at Midwestern University was definitely hard work and fast-paced, but it was not competitive here. Everyone just wanted to help each other and in that aspect it was just really welcoming. People studied together and shared ideas.

• Barbara Adams

  Not many aspiring dentists have the opportunity to help lead an entire dental program and I jumped at the chance to be a part of it. It's an honor to pave the way and set the bar for future CDMI classes.

  There's such a sense of professionalism here. Everyone has set a goal to be great in whatever field they chose.

• Jared Techau

  College of Graduate Studies, 2013

  With a lot of dedication on your part, the faculty and staff do everything they possibly can to help you reach your goal. You are prepared for success not only in the programs here at Midwestern but also for whatever awaits you in the future that you pursue.

  I'm helping this woman make an important decision, and we're creating a plan for her treatment.

• Laura Sibrava, D.M.D.,

  College of Dental Medicine-Arizona, 2012

  There is a very artistic side to dentistry. You have to have left-brain ability to create something that wasn't there before (like a crown).

• Phil Huang

  Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, 2012

  I would be more than happy to have any of my classmates be my doctor or my mom's doctor. I know how hard they work, and that they are very intelligent people and very capable.

• Reed Whittington

  College of Health Sciences, 2018

  Midwestern was an easy choice because it is a program that averages more than double the required anesthetic cases during clinical education.
