LECOM (Erie) v Touro Nevada

[chipeachi]

Hello lovely people! I would love to get some insight about each of these schools to help with my final decision

Touro- NV

Pros

• pre-recorded/recorded lectures with no mandatory attendance
• P/F curriculum (but still ranked)
• all rotations are local
• Excellent match rate and boards pass rate
• Closer to home

Cons

• research opportunities not affiliated directly with touro, have to reach out to nearby universities

LECOM- Erie (PBL Pathway)

Pros

• local affiliated rotations
• teaching hospital access
• excellent match list and board pass rate
• plenty of research opportunities
• cheaper tuition (around 35,000)

Cons

• would need access to a car and learn to drive in the snow (I live in Cali and have never driven in the snow)
• graded curriculum with mandatory attendance
• heard administration had issues

Do you have an interest in ortho? LECOM has an in-house program for that.

Otherwise, up to whether you want to save the money but live across the country or be within a short flight home at Touro.

I'm not really interested in ortho, currently interested in peds but still very open

If you have a strong relationship with your family/support system in CA, Touro NV probably would be better.
