First, let me say I am at a DO school. I've noticed that what I do in medical school lately is a lot of busy work. There is more time spent doing BS activities other than lecture, and I don't mean OMM. That is probably what stings me the most. I can't reconcile spending 8 hours a week on these activities (CBL, sim lab) while only spending 2 hours a week in OMM. And I don't even like OMM, it just doesn't make any sense to me.
And believe me, this stuff IS a waste of time. I actually think CBL a is hindering my learning, because of the competitive nature my facilitator has created, and I dread going to it.
It is frustrating to me because we are not learning a lot of pharm, and in a time when the legitamacy of the profession (physicians in general, not just DO), I can't say that our education is anything special. It's all busy work. Honestly, if I had to pay for school myself, Id probably drop out. Are all schools like this?
