DMU-COM
Pros
  • Reputation for a really great DO program (to my understanding)
  • Lower COL in comparison
  • Impressive 2024 match list
  • Grew up in the Midwest, more familiar with climate
Cons
  • Climate (I don't like the cold lol)
  • I don't think pre-clinical years are P/F?

NSU-KPCOM
Pros
  • NSU offers an MD and DO program- I imagine there's a lot of crossover with faculty and may help if you want to take COMLEX and Step for competitive residencies
  • Clearwater campus is newer, better facilities
  • Sunshine certainly doesn't hurt
Cons
  • No cadaver lab to my understanding
  • Higher COL
  • Kinda concerned by rumors of bad experiences but not sure how much I should believe, especially since it was 3 years ago? (See NSUKPCOM name and shame reddit thread)

Both are DO programs, and I'm OOS for both. Unsure of what specialty I might want to pursue for residency. Both seem equal in less-than-ideal clinical rotation sites (p much across the board for DO programs) and solid job opportunities for my partner who's a drug design chemist (also a factor in my decision). Please chime in if I missed something!!!
 
DMU. Cheaper and they haven't had complaints in the past like Nova has. Nova having an MD program is not going to provide any benefits.
