KCU Joplin
Pros
Cons
PCOM Ga
Pros
Cons
Summary:
- Not sure how 3rd and 4th year rotations are at these schools, any current students insight would be greatly appreciated.
- Also, is P/F at a DO school *actually* an advantage? Would letter grading help residency matching assuming you have competitive grades?
