This time in PA to join PCOM and LECOM. I just went to AOA's website to look some stuff up and saw that Robert Morris University-School of Osteopathic Medicine has pre-accreditation status. Is this for real? I didn't even know this was in the works.

Yeah, I heard about this last year. Man, these things are moving right along!

No this school is not going to open. The school announced that it was no longer following this plan a while back. do a search and you can find out more. They closed the offices and layoff the employees

I just wonder when it will stop? It isn't like only pre-meds/med-students see the problem, is it? Doesn't the AOA/COCA see the problems they will be causing in the future, or are they naive to it all?

Oh wow, I kinda feel relieved. Thanks for clearing it up. I keep hearing rumors about "new DO school to open in N. Indiana, school to open in..." I don't want to re-hash old topics, but it is amazing how fast these schools have been popping up. Somebody is making a pretty penny from it.

search old threads. Its been talked to death but basically the AOA sees a big problem with it but cannot control COCA. They can only suggest to COCA to make changes.
