Depends on your definition of "their own".

Uh, I'm not sure what the distinction you're trying to make is without seeing some examples

This is a good question.

I'd also like to see a list of osteopathic medical schools with their own affiliated on campus teaching hospitals.

An example would be Oregon Health and Science University with OHSU Hospital and Doernbecher Children's Hospital right on campus and the Oregon Veteran Affairs Medical Center just a skybridge away. The Shriner's Children's Hospital and Casey Eye Institute (with its own pediatric division) are also on the main campus.

Additionally, I'd like to see a list of osteopathic medical schools with affiliated pediatric teaching hospitals on campus.

Gracias to anyone who can provide the OP and I with such information.

A hospital that they dont share with other schools? A hospital that all the school's students rotate at? A hospital that has the school's name on it?

Two that come to mind with residency programs are KCOM, which has an on campus teaching hospital, and LECOM-E which has a hospital a few miles away. Both are small hospitals.

ETA: OSU also has an affiliated hospital

Either way, you'll most likely be moving for rotations at any osteopathic school (not saying this is a bad thing at all). That's why it's good to ask about rotation sites, traveling, etc. at your interview(s). Also, it's good to see how often you have to move. At some schools, you stay at one rotation site for 2 years which is my preference (similar to most MD schools). At other schools, you are moving for almost every rotation.

I'd like to point out that not every school needs so many hospitals so close to have effective clinical rotations. I mean, two children's hospitals right there? I'm sure that provides a lot of nice opportunities for OHSU students, but let's not think thats an absolute necessity.

 

[freshbagels]

My concern (and I don't even know if this is a big worry) is moving to a different hospital every 6 weeks. I'd rather be at a large enough hospital where one can rotate through all the requires clerkships there, rather than a different small community hospital for each rotation.

That was a concern of mine as well, but like I said, it's school specific. Pretty sure you move around a bit at LECOM.

 

[MChem]

What's scary to think about is what if you have a significant other? What will they do during those two years? Stay grounded by your college campus while you travel the country? And I wonder about how we pay for rent or how you stay somewhere for 6 weeks? An affiliated hospital would be great but I think the only downfall for most DO schools

Of course. OHSU has a beautiful campus and an amazing network of on and off campus hospitals, surgical centers and clinics. To have so many isn't a necessity, but one cannot deny that it opens doors for students. It gives you many more opportunities to explore yourself as a medical student and aspiring physician and/or medical scientist.

I'm especially interested in pediatrics, so I'd love to know of any osteopathic medical schools with pediatric teaching hospitals on campus. Especially those with affiliated pediatric residency programs.

Now, once again, having OHSU's networks of clinical sites is by no means a necessity, but I cannot imagine a medical school functioning without at least one general hospital on campus.

This is a major concern of mine as well.

I'm pretty sure Oklahoma has a relatively large teaching hospital in Tulsa. I think that is a big draw for the school, or for me at least.

That's nice, but I thought OHSU is an allopathic school.

HAhaha I am so glad somebody else brought this up. I have been wondering why on earth the OP is comparing DO hospitals to OHSU which is staunchly allopathic.

I attend LECOM-Erie. We do indeed have a hospital but it is small and the census is low. Its one strength is psychiatry. I anticipate going elsewhere for rotations.

Perhaps the OP wants to look into Western-Lebanon campus outside of Corvallis, OR? New DO satellite of the Pomona, CA giant. Samaritan Health Services has apparently contracted extensively with the school to provide clinical rotations and residency spots.
Lebanon and Corvallis definitely are NOT Portland but I would have preferred them to Erie... 🙂

I believe UMDNJ SOM has a teaching hospital system for it students right on its campus.

They also have both traditional and osteopathic medical schools.

And yes, OSHU is a traditional medical school. I was simply using it as an example of what I'm looking for in an osteopathic medical school (a campus with a general hospital as well as a pediatric hospital.)

Do such osteopathic medical schools exist?

 

[abolt18]

From NSU's facebook page...

LARKIN COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - Larkin Community Hospital in South Miami, which is a member of NSU-COM's Consortium for Excellence in Medical Education, was officially designated as a statutory teaching hospital on August 9. This type of recognition is accorded to hospitals with at least 100 residents in training in 7 or more disciplines. Currently, there are 12 Florida hospitals with this designation, including 3 in Miami-Dade County.

So it appears that Larkin is one of multiple teaching hospitals that Nova is associated with.

No. You need to be pretty big time to have a pediatric hospital. The only thing I can think of is PCOM's geisinger medical center clinical campus in Danville, pa, which has a pediatric hospital. I'm not sure how competitive the application process is for the geisinger campus but if you get it you can do all of your 3rd and 4th year there.

+1

And by reading their website it looks like they are affiliated with a lot of hospitals around the area.

UMDNJ-SOM's first affiliate and its current principal teaching hospital is Kennedy Health System/University Medical Center, with divisions in Stratford, Cherry Hill and Washington Township. Other hospital affiliates include: Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County in Willingboro, Christ Hospital in Jersey City and South Jersey Healthcare in Elmer and Vineland.

Some of the areas are very rough like Camden and Jersey City, but they are heavily populated and undoubtedly get a lot of unique cases rolling in.

 

[HipChick]

Michigan state has many hospitals where you spend your clerkship
http://ap.com.msu.edu/clerkship/base_hospitals.php?source=unit3

Preclerkship is either on the main MSU campus in east Lansing, the Macomb campus, or Detroit campus. I BELIEVE the Macomb and Detroit campuses are affiliated with the DMC (Detroit medical center-->Sinai- grace and Huron valley I think) but I might be wrong.

 

[WildEMDoc]

OSU-COM and TCOM have their own, but they are state supported so it isn't as surprising. UMDNJ-SOM has one (right?). PCOM also I believe has 2 associated hospitals (or so they claim on their website)

UNE-COM kind of has one at Kent Hospital (albeit a bit further from the school) in the same way KCOM kind of has one in Northeast Regional Medical Center, they are not directly associated but are pretty intertwined.

This is all information I have gathered from SDN/Google so if something I said seems wrong or misleading please correct me.

FALSE, please do not comment unless you know for sure. if you dont want to move around, you dont have to at all. you can do all of your rotations at 1 hospital if you would like. and as a matter of fact they are moving it to a system where you dont hae the "option" to be a floater anymore.

That would defeat the purpose of a FORUM.

Interesting. I was basing what I said on my interviews at LECOM-E/B as well as anecdotes from current 3rd year LECOM students. I definitely don't want to spread misinformation, but my thoughts weren't unfounded.

Just a little farther down on wikipedia (same link) you'll read this:

The residents at the Graduate Medical Educational Program at Larkin Community Hospital will obtain training and experience working at affiliated training sites such as:
Miami Children's Hospital
Hialeah Hospital
Holtz Children's Hospital Jackson Memorial Hospital
Nationwide Children's Hospital
Nemours Children's Hospital
Miami Jewish Home & Hospital

So FORTUNATELY all of those training programs aren't limited to those 124 beds!

 

[ACOM2017]

ACOM is affiliated with the Southeast Alabama Medical Center. A 420 bed hospital, about a mile from campus.

 

[maybemed2013]

I know LECOM has Wellington Hospital ( It is located in Wellington, FL Palm Beach County )

Kennedy University Hospital has 3 branches. The stratford branch is right next door to UMDNJ-SOM. I walk over and have coffee/lunch/breakfast there almost every day.

Regarding pediatrics: Kennedy at Washington township is very ped's heavy. Also, SJH in Vineland is ped's heavy. SOM is considering starting peds residencies at both Kennedy, washington and SJH, vineland. SOM's current ped's residencies are at Cooper University Hospital and Jersey Shore University Medical center.

Also, I remember reading in the last STUCO minutes that Overlook medical center and Morristown Medical center are seriously considering about entering into a much stronger relationship with SOM.

 

[coolingglasses]

I read about OSUCOM's network before I applied there. It sounded awesome.

Still "under review" though lol.

Cool necrobump, guys.

FWIW-- currently, at LECOM-E/SH, in your third year you have an assigned clinical site where you do most (if not all) of your rotations. You have the option of doing some electives and your family med rotation elsewhere. In fourth year, you can stay at that site for some rotations, but it's to your own benefit if you travel a bit and do audition rotations where you are interested in rotating. We have affiliations with Millcreek Hospital (as of last week LECOM Health) in Erie, and there's options for year-long sites throughout PA, NY and a bunch in OH I think as well.
