Are there any current students on here that would be able to answer some questions for an accepted student?
Let's hear 'em. Or PM me
Err, I'm not positive, I'm only a first year student, but I think at least a month.
As far as rotations go, just look on the WVSOM website. Search for "clinical rotations." Long story short, third year you must do rotations in WV ("statewide campus") and fourth year you can continue doing rotations in statewide campus or you can set up your own rotations.
I'm an OOS student, as are a decent portion of my classmates. Most medical schools don't offer a ton as far as scholarships go (unless you fall under a special class required by a particular scholarship, e.g. Native American, underprivileged, etc). If you are alright with limiting yourself early, you can apply for the NHSC scholarship, military scholarships, or apply for a primary care reimbursement plan after you graduate. My plan is to work for a non-profit hospital and apply for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
If you have any specific questions, you can PM me.
There's enough time for self-study. I recommend starting in Dec/Jan before your test in Jun/July.How much self study time do you get for the COMLEX?
Around November in your second year, there will be a "Site Selection Day" that will determine where you will do clinical rotations your entire third year of medical school. You will have a base hospital to which you are assigned, though some of your rotations will be in other clinics or practices. As each hospital system can only take so many students, the sites can go to lottery if there is overflow. If you need to know the exact method it's determined, PM me. Fourth year you can fulfill your graduation requirements however you wish (a lot of students rotate in their home states or wherever they are auditioning to match for residency).How are rotations set up (ex. lottery or do you set them up by yourself)?
As Tri4thlete mentioned, there are a few military scholarships (HPSP is the most common and the route my wife chose). Those do come with strings attached... you most likely do your residency in a military hospital and owe four or so years after residency, but they pay all of your tuition, give you a stipend ($2k a month or so), and you can get a $20k signing bonus.Since I am OOS, I was wondering if there are ways that OOS students have found to help with tuition (ex. scholarships, tutoring, etc.)?
They do not let you get away from this. In the secondary email it reminds you again about this and states that you must have a DO letter. Just go in to some DO offices and ask if you can shadow. You will find someone willing to do it! Good luck!I'm debating applying to WVSOM next cycle, and I read on the CIB that they require a DO letter. I wanted to know if the school makes any exceptions to this because I'm unsure if I can acquire a DO letter. I already have an MD letter though, but if that won't suffice obviously I won't bother applying. Thanks in advance!
Do they call or email or a portal change? Sorry I just haven't heard anything yet.ii just now! Any tips on how to get there the best/cheapest from California?
They just sent me an email letting me know of the dates and to confirm.Do they call or email or a portal change? Sorry I just haven't heard anything yet.
