Over my career (I'm still practicing) I was always employed and employers respect Temple. I am proud to be a Temple grad. I even published a paper which is rare for an undergrad. Then there's the ghetto. I haven't been back to campus for years because I no longer live in Philadelphia. But when I was a student back then, the neighborhood was really rough. That's a big downside, unless things have improved. And finally, did I mention that I graduated with no debt because it's a state school and tuition is (was) really manageable. The ladies might want to think twice about walking around at night, but the fellows are safe if you have any self-defense skills. Go to Temple, it's worth it.

This school has a mission to be this all caring, wonderful and dedicated institution but in reality... it is just another MONEY HUNGRY BUSINESS. I can't wait to leave. If people would look at the infrastructure here beyond just this place's name, I think many would have a very different opinion.

Over $40,000/year for utter disorganization, unnecessary obstacles placed in our way, complete lack of communication/teaching yet high demands of output from the students. While I worked very hard for my As, the majority of the class blatantly cheated on exams & assignments with NO consequence. Our clinical rotation assignments were a complete mess that is beyond words. We didn't have guidance, no true program director after ours quit in the middle of the fall semester, and no idea as to what was going on most of the time yet expected to be aware of everything. It is very bad when the majority of the class reaches out for help from higher ups at school and have our list of concerns belittled. Basically we were set up for failure from the start. I could write paragraphs upon paragraphs of the wrong doings, discrimination against English speaking students, lies we were fed, and injustices endured in such a toxic/corrupt environment but I'll leave it at this - Please don't be blinded by the reputation of Thomas Jefferson University.

It's easy to have books shipped there from other universities and I feel very comfortable even though I'm not a medical/health school student. They have a smaller campus bookstore across the street and a cafe/cafeteria on the first floor. Overall great place to get some studying done, especially if you can't make it to West Philly.

I enrolled in the EMT-B program during the Feb2016-Jun2016 term and had an absolutely phenomenal…read moreexperience. Jamie and Bubba, the two main instructors, not only ensured my class and I completed the program with the necessary skills to be a competent EMT, but they personally mentored and instilled confidence in each and every single one of us. Before I knew it, I began to see my instructors and classmates as my second family as well. The curriculum follows the NREMT guidelines and is broken into in-class lectures, online assignments, and psychomotor skill practical days (once a month on Sundays). The course is definitely challenging and will require work on your part. If you do not put the necessary time and energy into practicing and studying, it will show through. However, the support Jamie and Bubba provides will ensure you do not risk falling behind. What I believe sets Drexel's EMT program apart from all others is simply the passion and dedication Jamie and Bubba possess for educating the next generation of emergency medical providers. They take immense pride in teaching their students and watching them succeed in becoming certified EMT-B. They are truly two of the most, if the not the most, committed educators I have had the pleasure to learn from. It was an honor and pleasure to have learned from them. If anyone has any questions on the program or wish to learn more, I would be more than happy to speak with you and provide more in-depth details of my time there. P.S. I received my EMT-B certification within less than a month of completing the course.

The EMT-B program at Drexel is second to none. I came in with uncertainty in my ability and left…read morewith so much knowledge and confidence in my ability to treat patients. Jamie Teufel, the course director and one of the instructors, is extremely passionate about teaching. Although I had never planned in practicing as an EMT because I was planning to pursue an M.D., I learned so much that has actually benefited me now that I am in medical school. Some background, I am the quintessential socially awkward nerd who is afraid to touch a patient but can tell you a lot about Biochemical pathways. As a result, I was quite terrified about not being good enough in terms of communication and being a physician who is more than a nerd. If you work in the medical field, you know that effective communication, with patients and fellow health-care providers, is imperative to good care. But rest assured, I was not to be left hanging. Jamie and Bubba, our main instructors, made sure that all of us not only learned how to be basic EMTs but how to be competent providers. While there is a lot of work to be done, it is designed to give us the most for our time and accelerate us to be our best. The curriculum consists of both lectures and labs that are designed to teach us the roles of an EMT and the physical and communication skills that are expected of us. There are a variety of labs from a pig lab (in which we explore the lung and heart anatomy of a pig) to a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) day in which we utilize all our skills in a simulated environment. While time consuming, these labs and labs in which we practice our skills are designed to train us in becoming proficient providers. In addition to a well-designed and implemented curriculum, Jamie and Bubba are ALWAYS there to address your concerns. Because there are numerous labs, some may have time conflicts, but Jamie is always willing to work with you to ensure that you get the best education that you can. They are highly flexible because their goal is to create the best EMTs/health-care providers, and for good reason- we represent the institution when we practice. There is NO room for sub-par work! I highly recommend this program for anyone interested in becoming an EMT and anyone who is interested in becoming a health-care provider in general. These skills that are taught are the FOUNDATIONS to becoming competent health-care provider and can easily distinguish the "good" providers from the excellent. TLDR: Excellent program with phenomenal instructors who have high standards for their students. There's a lot of work but you'll learn a lot and become a better health-care provider because of it. On the fence? Try it out, you won't regret it.
