►Comments: > //"I found this elective to be very helpful in my early clinical experience. I took it in the fall semester and in the spring semester. By the end of the year I will have visited Warren Village around a dozen times. The elective tends to fill up quickly--so be aware of that when you get ready to pick your electives. And if you get put on the waitlist, stay there, spots often open up."// -- Ben Wendell
