Yeah the fact that there isn't a DO program at SM just kind of worries me. IDK why and I am probably just being picky but something tells me that in like 10 years the programs that run along with the DO programs will be the leading programs.
How are the classes at SM? Since at somewhere like Western where you attend classes with other doctoral students, at SM its mostly nursing and physician assistant programs. It seems like the classes wouldn't have very many students in them.. Not sure what nursing and PA programs have to do with anything. It's not like you'll be sharing classes (or instructors) with them. As for class size, I've found that most people coming from big-time public universities with huge classes are glad to finally be in smaller classroom environment. Maybe that's not you though.I mean are the classes like anatomy shared with PA students and nursing students? No classes shared with anyone.
The other thing that worries me about SM is the cost of living around there. It's just so expensive.. They give out scholarships for that reason.
All this aside I am still applying there and would be pumped to go there since I grew up in the north bay. One podiatrist told me that Western is the way to go and CSPM is dying out.. but I don't know how much weight this holds..
