CUSOM vs ACOM
ACOM
pros
- Solid rotation sites/network, AMEC
- growing, working on new residency programs
- Great match list
- school provides ipad/laptop and board prep for students
- overall family-friendly atmosphere, felt comfortable
- near home
cons
- 60% mandatory attendance
CUSOM
pros
- attached to an undergrad institution, has multiple graduate programs including law, business, PA, nursing, pharmacy, etc. (not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing, but I like how well-versed the school is)
- partner Cape Fear Valley Health building new research center
- Has quite a few established residencies in-state, has done well for itself being a newer school
- has pretty great board scores
- 80% attendance policy/strict business casual dress code
- Christian based institution
- haven't heard much about the quality of their rotations
- very rural area, Raleigh is 45 mins away
I've already spoke to many ACOM students, but if any students from CUSOM can reach out, I would love to gain a greater insight into your experiences and thoughts.
