Yes.
At least for LECOM-B, it takes a very specific type of student to do well because of the PBL curriculum. However, it is conducive to board studying because you have hardly any time in class and the rest of the day to study for exams/boards. I have heard their rotations are not so great, but they are consistently among the highest with respect to COMLEX scores.
Im not familiar with PBA so I can't make a real comparison about that, but the performance at any DO school is largely dependent on the student. The education aspect can be good/bad depending on how you spin it. The rotations are really not great, so that could be regarded as a "cheap education", and can be a deal breaker for some people. On the other hand, the 30k tuition and PBL curriculum are serious pros for a student who can learn well on his/her own and obviously can produce great COMLEX scores, so it wouldn't be a cheap education in that respect. I would evaluate the kind of student you are (e.g learns best on his/her own, which would be good for PBL, or learns best when the information is taught in a classroom setting (better for traditional curriculums)) and make your decision based on which school will be the best fit for you. You can still come back from poor rotation quality, but poor board scores are a much larger hill to climb.
You’re in the wrong sub for info on which pharm program is better.
