Abstract
Character (qualities that determine one’s response to events regardless of circumstances) determines success and is important because of powerful influences physicians have on patients’ health and well-being. Medical education should endorse good character, e.g. compassion, empathy, discernment, generosity, honor, justice, self-control, truthfulness and virtue. Important for patient care, we designed a curriculum to promote character in future physicians. Curricular examples: Neurophysiology: Pornography addiction can destroy marriages, families and culture. Its addiction is taught to encourage a physician’s compassion and tofacilitate physician-patient education of self-control and virtue. Cardiovascular: Prolonged stress, unresolved anger and CRH release with cardiovascular sequelae, lead to major health problems. Attentiveness and sensitivity are taught to recognize and treat stress preventatively, not only in disease. GI/Nutrition: Responsibility and self-control in diet, fitness,andwellness are promoted in students, as good examples for future patients. Anatomical Sciences: Unselfishness and self-control are important in a patient for healthy sexual relationships. Female reproductive tracts allow for pathology (sperm proteins accessing the bloodstream can drag endometrial cells into the Pouch of Douglas) if honor doesn’t restrain intercourse during menstruation.

What the **** did I just read?

 

[coolingglasses]

 

[nontrad78]

Glad I hesitated before applying here.

 

[costales]

Did it take four people to write that paper?
What did they say about intercourse while passing gas, or mixing wool and polyester?

 

[Goro]

I rest my case.

And I thought MCAT verbal passages were convoluted. If I had this thing on my MCAT, I would get the first ever zero on the verbal section.

 

[studentp0x]

lolwut

 

[touchpause13]

What the crap is this? ??

 

[cliquesh]

Am I correct to conclude that the abstract indicates that intercourse during menstruation is dishonorable?

Yea, and I think they are saying you can develop endometriosis.

 

[NontradCA]

This is despicable. I have a hard enough time seeing the relevance in dissecting a cadaver as is. I can't even imagine someone talking about honor, intercourse, and developing my behavior as a medical student while doing so.

 

[BestDoctorEver]

Someone should post this in the 2014-2015 Liberty thread so these applicants are aware what they are getting themselves into...

 

[Mr Roboto]

You guys should see their student manual, it's almost as good.

 

[touchpause13]

I reallllly want someone to post that. Like I've seen bits and pieces online but nothing that addresses the rules for med students specifically

 

[touchpause13]

Hmm that doesn't seem so bad but a few of those I'm not sure what they are getting at. Like is "sexual misconduct" something like sexual assault (which they already mentioned) or is it like premarital sex.

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

Honestly, I don't imagine they will remain open for long.

Either way, what we need to do is to dissuade all pre-DO students from applying. If their class is never full or if their class is filled with bottom or the barrel students with poor board scores and match lists they will have to close down themselves.

 

[Mr Roboto]

The caribbean schools are able to fill their classes. This is a US DO school, unfortunately, and there will always be people interested in attending. I have heard of students who were accepted here that had been rejected everywhere else in multiple cycles... there's plenty more of them out there.

Sadly I disagree. I remember a few folks in my class that would fit the bill to go to this school....sadly....

In terms of academic abilities or personal beliefs?

 

[Escape_Goat]

Paper is garbage. My pornography addiction has only helped my marriage.

When your wife becomes infertile, you'll be looking up for answers. Don't say you weren't warned.

Not only that, some of them fill their classes with over 400 students per semester... Are premeds that naive?

 

[cliquesh]

In terms of academic abilities or personal beliefs?

I think Christianity is big at a lot of DO schools. There was a strong Christian student group at my school. They seemed like a good bunch of people. They did a lot of community service. There also seems to be a lot of homosexual people in medical school too, hah. I think something like 15% of my class was gay or bisexual.

LGBTs are ORM now lol.

Lololol that would be awesome

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

Lololol that would be awesome

It is, it's all part of dat OBAMACARE part 2 to make dah ppl gay.

 

[studentp0x]

Whats the avg gpa/mcat for this school?

 

[demayette]

Whats the avg gpa/mcat for this school?

3.5 and 25 MCAT?

 

[Postictal Raiden]

I'm not sure which is worse, attending this school or going to the Caribbean.

There's something fundamentally wrong in our leadership to allow such thing to exist.

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

3.5 and 25 MCAT?

This is actually an inflated estimate however. By the time their first week is up and their class is set, it will almost certainly be below that.

 

[noleknight16]

lul as Bill Maher said: "Liberty University isn't really a university".

Sad. Gotta seriously question anyone who would go there for a medical education.

There are more than enough pre-meds out there who think medicine = $$$ and prestige and will go to whatever school takes them. LUCOM will still easily fill their classes.

Yes, but the question is what quality will attend? What will be their post-graduate prospects.

Truth is that scrapping up bottom of the barrel applicants will not bring honor or high regard to the school. It'll only sink it faster.

We should start a campaign on SDN against LUCOM...

KYCOM and WVSOM used to have like 3.3/23 averages. Nonetheless, there were plenty of successful graduates and the schools are still up and running.

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

Truth of the matter is that SDN has a lot of influence. Our words change the very statistical averages of school's entering classes and we lay the foundation for the opinion base of organizations like SOMA.

WVSOM has the most drop outs of any school in the country.

 

[Makati2008]

WVSOM has the most drop outs of any school in the country.

Really???

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

Really???

Yes, only 78% of their students I believe graduated last year.

 

[GreyF0X]

WVSOM has the most drop outs of any school in the country.

Wasn't it NYIT/NYCOM (one of the two) that held the highest attrition rates amongst DO schools?

[osteohack10]

Did their research dollars honestly go to a study that concluded "honor" as the best prevention for endometriosis??…...

 

[DoctorSynthesis]

Its nice to see a solid thread of just hating on lucom. What a terrible school.

I love do schools and hate to see schools like this. It certainly doesn't help improve the good name of DOs

 

[DoctorKrieger]

#thanksCOCA

 

[GreyF0X]

Is there anyone from LUCOM in this forum?

 

[AlbinoHawk DO]

LUCOM pretty much destroys all progress osteopathic has made and any respect it can ever attain. Why isn't there a way for this embarrassment to get banned?

You cannot be serious......

You watch Bill Maher?

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

I think to deny that SDN has a influential voice in this game at all levels is a bit counterproductive.
