GA-PCOM 2009- Where are you?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
We will still get summers for the first 2 years. I think it is divided up into quarters.
 
Emergency medicine in year 1? nice. that is what I am interested in. Do you guys have any idea what you want to pursue? Besides you Orthofix I think we got the idea!

For the first year it list 3 terms for the curriculum, does this mean we have trimesters? Do we get the summer off?
 
Since everyone is revealing their ages, I am 24 and will be 25 in September. I am waiting on my parents to finish their taxes so I can send my FAFSA off. I plan on having it sent off by Feb 15. BMW, I plan on practicing Pediatrics. I am sooo excited, its going to be great guys. I just have that gut feeling.

Is there a deadline for the Fafsa to be in Nicola? I have a feeling it will be great as well.

I am an OLD GUARD :laugh:
25 years old. Looking forward to getting my AARP eligibility in just 39 years. :laugh:
Graduated from school couple of years ago and have been doing clinical research in interventional radiology (It is a sub-speciality of radiology). I would like to do residency in IM and do fellowship in oncology-hematology (these are just the plans for right now).


Guys please send your email address to BMW so we can get an email list ready

I also have the same question like BMW, when is our FAFSA due.

Sorry to change subjects, BUT I finally found PCOM's curriculum that we'll mirror http://www.pcom.edu/catalog0405/curricula.html

Thanks. That looks good. There is also a summer term (see calendar in catalog) which is about 2.5 months long, from late May to Mid August. That way we can work, research, or whatever. I like it.

Don't let the old handle fool you. I have opened my horizons to all surgical fields, anesthesia, Gyn, intervent-rads, etc. Two years ago when joining SDN, I thought ortho surg was for me. Now, many fields are of interest. I know too little to decide.

BTW, I pm'd you my name, email, and phone.

Thanks for the link Drugtech 👍
 
Just sent the first email out. I only have 4 people so far. I know they are taking 80, there must be more of you out there!

BMW,



I do not exactly when the FASFA is due, but I have heard from several sources that if you get it in before March you will get priority consideration. So to be on the safe side I am getting mine in this month and no later. Keep in mind the applications only became available at the begining of Jan, and most people do not get their W-2's until the end of Jan. Is anyone working while in med school?
 
Brenden,

Which apts are you referring to? I think the school should be able to get us pretty good discounts on apts. The school is definitely an asset to the community. I hope it is 150+ off rent.
 
I know this changes the subject but my dad talked to my doctor today who is on the DO board for pcom-ga and said they had already accepted 53 people. I dont know how many of these will end up going there but Im suprised that there are only like 8 of us that post on this site.
 
Nicola,
Dr. Evans said at the interview that he was negotiating with the apt. complex that was in walking distance of the school to get us a reduced rate. I saw them building them, but it was dark. They are as close as you can get to the school, and they should be nice.

In general,
I have most recently seen Anesthesia and I fell in love with it. Anesth involves a lot of pharmacology which I seem to have a niche for. However I definitely want to look into OBGYN and IM. My first shadowing was in IM and I loved it too. If I do IM I would definitely go into a specialty like Heme/Onc. I am honestly open to EVERY field of medicine...there isn't much I couldn't see myself doing.
 
Thanks for the info on the FAFSA, I guess I better get going on that. Is it true that you have to put down your parents income etc. even if you have been on your own for years?! I know one girl had a fit about this at our interview. One of the reps. said that if you want to be eligible for scholarships you have to put your parents down.

I may try and see a few patients here and there (I am a chiropractor) but overall everyone has advised me not to work much 1st year. During clincial rotations, I have been told that there is some down time to work. If you are not a zombie by then anyway.

Brent and Nicola I got your emails, thanks

Brent,
They may have accepted 53 people but not all of them would have send the deposit. When I interviewed a month ago (1/6/05) they had accepted 35 people out of which 17 had send the deposit. So in last one month, they could have accepted totally 53 people but not all of them would have send the deposit. My wild guess is they may have around 25-30 people who would have send the deposit. But I may be completely wrong on this and the doctor to whom your dad spoke is right.

But any number we take, you are right, we still have too few people in our forum.

All I know is the SOMETHING is going on. One of the officers in AED at my school said that GAPCOM was coming to my school next month, and that even though the app. deadline had already passed, exceptional students might be considered for acceptance. Out of 1,000+ applicants, why are they still looking to recruit people who might not have DO school on their mind? So what about these "exceptional students"...are they going to be able to bypass AACOMAS application? What is going on? Where are the 50+ that have already been accepted; it's not like SDN is underground by any means. I'm just as confused as y'all.
 
Hey guys,

don't get so worried. You would be surprised how many people don't know about this sight. I didn't, until someone told me about it. It's not like the forums website was on our acceptance letters! I'm sure there are plenty of people who are coming to our school who have absolutely no clue about SDN (amazingly). Just because we are addicted doesn't mean everyone is.

Sounds a little scary to me. I was told by "elements" in GOMA that they had plans on the books to offer scholarship to attract "exceptional students" in order to establish a strong program from the get-go. This would be scholarships for just the first two years but significant enough to get their GPA and MCAT averages higher than the current bottom D.O. schools (if you buy into the logic that lower average scores mean lower level schools which I do not). None-the-less, there is a political and psychological game that is played out when comparing schools and wanting to have the best possible school you can. Well, in January, the ideas for these scholarships fell through. The money was needed to recruit faculty and for the facilities instead of for scholarships. Tough call if you are in admin b/c you want a balance of excellent students and faculty. If you have to make a choice, you pick faculty as they will be there longer than the students. I completely understand. So, as a result they're scrambling a little bit to find a bigger applicant pool. They are looking for some "late-comers" who have good scores (3.6 or 3.7+ GPAs and 27+ MCATs) but who are too late to get into most other schools. Even though they are so late, they don't want to wait another year to start med school and so they will gladly join the ranks of the PCOM-GA class. These are their prime targets at the moment. I would have really loved to have joined those ranks but I just honestly couldn't turn down the financial difference between there and a state school. Best of luck to all of you! You are embarking a really cool adventure (the 1st class) and you will get a tremendous education. Enjoy!
 
Hey Geronimo,

I see your point, but wondering why you started your post with "sounds a little scary to me" and ending with "you will get a tremendous education". Sounds a little contradictory. Personally, I am not worried. They have been rejecting plenty of applicants as well. If they were so worried they would not be dragging this out, and would have accepted way more apps by now. I think they are picking carefully because they want a certain student and feel to the school (i.e. southeast states so students will stay in the region), not that they are worried. Just my opinion, feel free to chime in anyone else at anytime.

I do agree with BMW that they are even rejecting some people with good stats. If they were worried about filling their class, they won't do this. I notice their attitude at the interview was if you like south and would like to stay back in south especially Georgia you are most welcome to our school but if not than get the hell out of here :meanie: .
When i interviewed at Atlanta, atleast 2 of the four people who interviewed with me didn't knew about SDN.
It doesn't look like they are accepting people left and right, they are interviewing people with good stats and EC's and accepting only those who they think can contribute something to this school.
My gut feeling is PCOM-philly has build a great reputation in the field of osteopathic medicine and they won't want to screw it by doing anything wrong over here in Atlanta. So they will try to do their best in Atlanta.

Oh, you're right. I read back over my post and realize what you meant. I meant it sounds scary but don't worry, it isn't scary. Poor wording on my part, sorry. The point of my post was to explain why they are "recruiting" at this point of the game when most schools are finishing up their final lists for their class. Dr. Evans would still like the "best possible" class he can find and attracting as many "bright" applicants as he can will do that.
 
Just want to let you guys know, and in agreement with BMW everyone does not know about this site. And in some cases those who know about it just don't like to post back and forth, its really an individual decision. Anyways, I can assure all of my future classmates that PCOM-GA is looking for excellence, and it is essential that this first class reflect this expectation from the begining to the end. There is sooo much riding on this first class(reputation, money, future applicants etc). I personally feel that we will get the utmost attention, being that we are going to be so instrumental in the long term success of this school. I am up for the challenge and cannot wait to display my talents, I hope everyone feels the same. We are about to embark on a long tedious journey with many obstacles and uncertainties, which is why we must never lose sight of why we want to become physicians. We have a chance to leave eternal footsteps!! This one of the reasons why I chose PCOM-GA. Unchartered territory 🙂
 
AMEN to that!! Even though I just watched ER and the whole lesson of the show was that malpractice has gotten insane. A lot of Docs leaving the profession because premiums are so high. I guess we will have to choose our specialtys wisely

Another thing to think about, PCOM-GA was released late in the game to start interviewing applicants. Many schools had nearly 6 months head start.

Secondly, many people did not even know the school existed. I'm not sure that it is currently listed on the AACOMAS map page, although they finally added it to the school check off/code page just before I finalized my application.

If you know of SDN and are pro-osteo, you probably heard about PCOM-GA. Otherwise, there have been few roadsigns to direct your attention.

I'm pumped about getting started. Too bad I can't move now. 🙂 Every single chair, computer, OMM table, lab, classroom, carpet, picture, etc. will be brand spanking new. We'll probably have to complain about the "new building" smell instead of formaldehyde 😱
 
I agree Ortho. The only way I even heard about GA-PCOM was that someone posted an article in the pre-osteo about PCOM "possibly" putting a school in GA. When I heard that, my adrenaline shot thru me. A DO school in my own backyard? Amazing.

Anyway guys keep posting because it keeps our thread at the top of the osteo list and it is the only way our future brethren will find us. I'm getting delerious now, when I start saying brethren it is time to go to sleep......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anyone read in the paper where the malpractice in georgia was going to be capped at 250K? Hopefully, for those of us who will be practicing within the state will get some kind of break by the time we get out of school. I don't think this will be the end all to medical reimbursement woes, but it's a start. Now maybe those money-hungry ambulance-chasers a.k.a. lawyers (not that I'm a name caller) will stop exploiting drs. and patients to make a buck. I heard someone on the radio here the other day say that the solution was to socialize medicine. Why is it that the public-at-large can be so misguided? If anyone wants to know what socialized medicine would be like, take a glimpse at the VA system. It's the dang lawyers and insurance companies I tell you! 😛
/me steps down from my soap box
 
Penalty cap is good news for Georgia docs. We already have them here in Texas for about a year now.

Looks like school starts August 15 if we follow the PCOM schedule. Would orientation begin one week prior to that?
 
I found this on page 1 of PCOM 2008 thread:

Lots of stuff to discuss here

Issue One - the summer biochemistry program

I didn't take it and I did well. I have friends who took it and they did well (and have told me that the summer course really helped). I guess if your background in biochemistry is weak, this might be helpful. However, keep in mind that Cell and Tissue (your 2nd trimester) isn't just biochemistry. It also includes immunology, microbiology, some pathology, virology, some pharmacology, etc. You might have an easier time in Cell and Tissue if you were exposed to the basics before (either in undergrad or summer program or Biomed). However, it is not a necessity and you won't be placed at a disadvantage if you don't take the summer course. So it really is up to you (since it is your money).

2. Schedule
Most likely in the summer, you will get a letter telling you guys how to access your class website on blackboard. Your schedule will be on your class website. I think I got my schedule around a month before class started (but I could be wrong - it seems like a long time ago). As of right now, I doubt your schedule is ready since they are probably fine tuning it

3. Misc mailings
Stuff from PCOM will come in the mail in trickles. You should have received your health physicals. A letter asking for your white coat size will be mailed - since POMA will be paying for your white coats. Medical/Dental insurance forms will be mailed to you. If you don't want the coverage, you will have to show proof of alternative coverage (like most schools, undergrad or med). Most of the mailings will probably occured during the summer.

4. Housing info
You will get a packet in the mail. It will list places where current PCOM students are living, the rent, and utilities that are included (and also includes driving/walking distance to school). It will also include suggestions on dealing with utilities (such as water, electricity, gas, phone, etc)

5. Baseball
During my orientation, PCOM gave out tickets to a Phillies game at night. A nice way to bond w/ your new classmates. Not sure if they will do the same for your class (i guess it depends on the phillies schedule too).

6. Orientation info mailing
I remember last year that it took a while for the mail detailing orientation to arrive (i think in late July - but again, memory of it could be wrong since it has been a while)


I was once in your shoes - eager to get any info I can. But be patient. All the information will eventually get to you. It will take some time - but take this time to enjoy yourself and your freedom. Coming towards the end of my first year, most of my classmates are burnt out, and eagerly awaiting summer vacation (no test, no reading, no studying, !!!NO TEST!!)

Congrats and my sincere welcome to PCOM 2008

Hope I have been helpful in answering some of your questions/concern.

Now I have to go back to studying even though it is a beautiful spring day - GRRRRRRRR!!

Group_theory
"now accepting karma points"

Certainly, some of this info doesn't apply to Georgia. I found it interesting and thought you might too. Link to PCOM c/o 2008
 
Like you said, Ortho, I'm not sure how much of that will apply to us at GAPCOM, but it does answer a few questions that I had. When I read the blurb about baseball it made me think: maybe we'll get an intramural team together, something like soccer? Just throwing ideas out. :idea:
 
A lot of pioneering will be available, since no clubs will exist when we appear. Maybe we can get some ideas and a big sib from PCOM to give us some direction. Lots of opportunity for leadership roles and responsibility 👍
 
Anyone else get a private message for a "comlex study guide" that will cost $140?

Sounds like a scam to me, but on the other hand it would be nice to have a head start on board questions.

Went up to the school (school to be) this weekend. There is still A LOT to be done. They are mid-construction. But the facility looks like it will be humungous. Anyway, I guess these days things go up in months.

Yeah, I got that about a week ago. I kept the PM just in case. Once we start up in Atlanta, we might want to pool together and get a copy or CD or whatever form it comes in. I'm not burning $140 without a recommendation on the resource. $25 or $30 is OK.
 
Agreed. We should also get a copy of a page of it, to make sure it is legit.

I also wondered about the legality of it. I know that with USMLE and COMLEX that if they were to have memorized Q and A's from the actual exam, then their are serious legal implications. I doubt that is what it is, but I wondered how many people in this forum have received that PM. I'm with y'all tho, We might want to reconsider getting a copy once we get up there. I think I kept the PM.
Anyone have any breaking news in the world of GAPCOM? I think our mantra for the new school could be, "Fall into the GAPcom." 😀
 
From what I've read, studying for boards is USMLE prep books plus OMM guides. Then there are the study courses that a lot of schools subsidize, Kaplan I think.
 
I would be willing to bet, but don't quote me on this since this is just my intuition, but I think GAPCOM is going to pay for us to take a COMLEX prep since we are going to be the first class and subsequent accreditation depends in part on our performance. If they don't pay for a prep course, they will offer some sort of intensive review session put together by the faculty, or something of that nature. Wouldn't y'all think so? Either way, I am pretty sure I would want to take one just to ensure that I do well because I personally need practice when it comes to standardized tests. I realize the point is insignificant currently, but just my two cents.
 
At the interview they mentioned that they do review students for the COMLEX. I believe that you take a practice test at the school. This would in effect help to make their pass rates look good also.
 
Hmmm. I don't remember them saying that at our interview briefing, but that's great. Just based on the way the curriculum is set up, assuming they follow Mama PCOM's curriculum, it seems like the info will be much easier to recall in a clinical setting since it is all integrated by systems for the most part. *Sigh*, I just can't wait 😎
 
I wish I had one word to describe the great feelings of joy, uncertainty, relief, excitement, etc. Any helpful hints on how to prepare for anatomy would be appreciated! We are in!
 
Does anyone have any information on when we will receive a receipt or something from PCOM verifying that they received the 250 deposit? I sent my deposit off the around Jan 27, 2005. Drugtech have you received anything yet?
Just wondering.
Beano, I am currently studying a anatomy book written by Wynn Kapit/ Lawrence M. Elson and it is really good!! It goes into great detal.

I actually called up there last week to see if they had received my deposit. they said they received it jan 26 and I think I sent it in about a week before that.
 
hello, I'm a D.O. (already graduated) and my parents have an unoccupied townhome 3bedroom/2.5 bath and 2 car garage approx. 2.5 miles from the school available for rent. for those interested, I have pictures and more details. let me know. [email protected]

Sent my deposit 1/4 (Priority mail), verified receipt 1/6 by phone.

Written letter from PCOM-GA dated 1/21, postmarked 1/24.
 
I think they have had some phone issues lately. I talked with them a few days ago and they were in the process of repairing a few lines.

Most people say to enjoy your last bit of free time. If you just cant stand it, check out bones, regions of bones, the 12 cranial nerves and the brachial plexus (edit: advice from other students/threads, not me!). If you've had anatomy, the bones should come back pretty quickly. Netter, Rohens, and one other (can't remember it) are the gold standards for texts. You can get a Netter CD (~$40) at www.netterart.com I think, or google it.

Since I'm working F/T & picking up Gen Chem II w/lab, I won't get any extra prep in most likely. I might have raised my MCAT PS a few points by taking that blasted class BEFORE the MCAT. It's my last pre-req.

I think we'll try to move around July 1 or so. That should allow some settlig time in Atlanta. Have you out of towners thought about where you might live yet?
 
I've given it some thought. I'm torn between trying to find a roommate or live alone. A friend (that just got out of med. school) says that having a classmate as a roommate can really make things much easier.

thanks for the anatomy link- B
 
I actually replied earlier today, but it didn't post. Sorry.

Nicola: No I haven't received anything in the mail yet. I sent my deposit about the same time you did. I am willing to bet that they are sending out things in waves depending on when they received the deposit.

Ortho: I had actually thought about buying a house since the real estate market is exploding in the Gwinnett area right now. I would like to see what kind of deal the school is going to get for us with that apt. complex down the street from the school. I agree with beano, if I do get an apt., I would rather room with classmates.

I want to buy, but was unaware of any market upticks. I guess that's good, if I get in before they go up further.
