Thank you! Absolutely. (1) I felt COMP NW is very welcoming, while the staff as well as students are personable and professional. The emphasis and culture of the school is cooperative and supportive, and there is a definite air of levity and humor that is pervasive. They administration puts great emphasis on inclusiveness, cohesion within the student body, kindness, and enthusiasm. The school itself is a small well designed space with natural light, a living wall, a grand piano, and extra curricular activities room. It is very calming and holistic feeling, which is not a surprise because of how they stress a balanced lifestyle while in medical school. (2) The school places great emphasis on academic excellence, and students seem to have a great deal of integrity. However, academic excellence is recognized as an extension of the emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing of the students. The school has a track record of excellent board scores and excellent residencies. They serve the philosphical framework of osteopathy and it’s manifest OMM, and they don’t propound the reductionism of osteopathy to strictly primary care. Although primary care is fantastic, and admirable, osteopathy can be a boon in any specialty. COMP NW recognizes this and has provisions to provide preparation for many specialities. Additionally, they are very progressive in terms of serving the needs of their students and improving the way physicians care for themselves. I would go into more detail on this, if you like. There are many instances you can find online and on their website, and through speaking with staff and students. However, for me to expound on it would take a while. Please feel free to write me though if you want to have a more personal conversation about it. One added note, the region is gorgeous and welcoming. The town itself is rather small, but the community is embrasive, inclusive, and generous. (3) Not sure on how to focus this response. I was interviewed by a staff member as well as a current student representative. The questions were what you would expect in terms of background and academic questions. I was asked one ethical question and one circumstantial question for which I established a framework and answered in a way that would give them both insight into my thought process/method of intellectualising and my values/underlying motivations. Very conversational overall. The interview day was all about diffusing the anxiety that is sometimes inherent in the process itself.
