Hello all DCOMers,I have an interview on Feb 5th and was wondering what the cost of living was like. How much are apartments in the area for a 2 BR (have a family), are there places to get a job for wife, and how is town life?On a side note, does DCOM have any large hospitals for their clinical years?I appreciate any info - I've been accepted elsewhere and am just weighing the options. Thanks,AA

Hey Medic,

Congrats on the interview!!! The cost of living is very cheap down here. There aren't really any apartments, but you can rent a house for between $500-$900 per month. Those are rough numbers, perhaps on the low side with $500, but it is a safe spread. Other bills aren't bad either from what I'm told, perhaps add another $75-100 per month for those if they aren't included in your rent. Town life is pretty quiet as it is small. Middlesboro, KY is bigger and is right down the street (literally 5 minutes) from DCOM. As for a job for your wife, that will depend on what she does. There is not a ton of options within 10-15 of DCOM, but if you go a little farther out, then you will be closer to Knoxville and everything is there. As for clinicals. we do have large hospitals. Some of them include University of Tennessee, St. Mary's Hospital System, Fort Saunders Hospital system, East Tennessee Childrens Hospital and Erlanger Hospital system, which is in Chatanooga. The others are all in Knoxville. We do have some in Nashville, but I don't know what they are off the top of my head. During rotations, your core hospital will be one of these big hospitals, and that is where a majority of your 3rd year will be. For your 4th year, we go out into more rural/community hospitals, but you do have electives and selectives where you can choose to go where you want. Electives - you can go anywhere in the country, and even the world as we are setting up international rotations, and Selectives - you choose a speciality and go to one of DCOM's affiliates for that specialty, so that can be a bigger hospital. You will have electives and selectives both 3rd and 4th years, but a majority of them come in your 4th year.

If you want further info on the area and housing, I will refer you to another post I have. If you go into the Osteopathic section of SDN, then go into Class Threads, then find LMU-DCOM Class of 2012, then on the last page, you will see a lengthy post of mine regarding the various areas to live and what is around that area. The post is also on the thread, but it is a couple of pages back, if you want to search for it a bit.

Good luck!!!

Congrats Prions on your acceptance!!!!!!! I meant to visit you when you interviewed, but all you guys went out of the room so quickly for break, that MJB and I only caught up with Laura outside of the conference room. Sorry.....but congrats again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you soon.

<--- Where's my dancing monkey? Must be chasing his banana, its taunting him, "You'll never catch me, hahahaha --->

I know that was lame.....oh well 😛

yes, it was, but sadly I laughed

 

[EEL08]

yes, it was, but sadly I laughed

Me too. But sadly I hadn't even thought about the monkey-banana connection until nascardoc mentioned it. 😳

 

[prionsRbad]

Thanks Nascardoc! I can't wait to meet everyone!

Oh, and I totally laughed at missing monkey too. 😉

 

[Okiecowboy]

Hello All! First timer here although I have been a faithful follower of the forum for sometime now. I have an interview on Friday and just wanted to say hi and thanks for all of the insight into LMU-DCOM. Can't wait to get to TN and see the school for myself.

 

[bluefirelily85]

DOES IT WORRY ANYONE THAT RESIDENCY MATCH LISTS FOR LMU-DCOM DON'T EXIST BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS SO YOUNG? IT FEELS LIKE A GAMBLE TO GO TO A SCHOOL THAT HAS NO RECORDS YET, LIKE LECOM BRADENTON OR LMU-DCOM... I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN LMU, THOUGH! DOES ANYONE HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE?


(I HAD TO PUT THIS CREEPY FACE IN HERE.)


P.S. I DON'T KNOW IF IT MATTERS BUT I'M GOING INTO ORTHOPEDIC OR GENERAL SURGERY.

Doesn't bother me a bit. The relationships that DCOM has already formed with nearby hospitals and schools is awesome! I personally believe that it is up to the student to earn their own way into whatever residency they want, and from what I understand your performance in your 3rd and 4th years are far more important to residency administrators than the name of the school you went to.

This is a great question, and its one I'm sure many people who think about DCOM ask. My answer....No, its not a gamble. My simple reason behind it, which doesn't do you much good, is you have to see it, breath it, and live it to understand why I, and my classmates, feel so passionate and CONFIDENT in DCOM. I can also tell you most people who only interview there, see and feel exactly what I am talking about - ask any of them here on SDN, even those who turned DCOM down. This starts, first and foremost, with Dr. Stowers and the faculty and staff he brought in. Our faculty has the experience, and connections, to help us out as much as possible. And I can tell you, from first-hand knowledge, that many of the faculty have never been so happy, or have had as much fun (which is very, very important), as they are at DCOM, including those who have been teaching for over 10, 20, and even 30 years - and it shows. Then, when you bring the resources DCOM has into the picture, it is easy to see why I feel this way. I KNOW the training that we are going to receive is going to make us, not into good doctors, but GREAT doctors, and I believe that with all my being.

Another thing, about any school one may choose to go, is they have the ability to have elective rotations, where they can go anywhere and do anything. If these are used wisely, then one can make all of the connections they need to help their chances of getting the residency they want.

But here's the catch (yeah, you knew it was coming 🙄), none of this means crap if the student does not use these resources effectively, and more importantly, does not work their tail off. No name or match list will help you in the least. Hoss is 100% correct, it is the student who determines their match, not the school. I can be a complete numbnut from Harvard, but that name in of itself will not guarantee my desire to be, say, a plastic surgeon. It is always up to the student to do their part in order for the school to fulfill its part. You can't have one without the other.

So here is my advice to anyone applying to medical school. IMHO, the most important factor about deciding on a school is not money, match lists, or location, but the place that fits you most. You want to go to that feels right b/c you will be happier and LEARN BETTER there than anywhere else. And that is what will determine, not only your residency, but your quality of patient care....and that is what counts more than anything else. If that school is DCOM, welcome aboard, if not, cool...there is nothing wrong with that and I wish you the best. I hope you kick a$$ at your school. For me, DCOM was the best fit and I have never regretted turning down the schools I did. I've had the time of my life so far and I have changed for the better b/c of being here.

I wish you the very best on all of your interviews!!! Good luck!!!

I saw you are interviewing at DCOM. When are you scheduled?

They've got to start somewhere right? I'm just focusing on having really good board scores and solid grades...hopefully everything else will take care of itself.

Oh well, I guess I'll be staying up a little late tonight, what a shocker.

I'll start being better tomorrow...I promise AV Node (stolen from our Canadian brethren )

Hehehe.. I didn't know who you were until I saw the AV node comment!


Nascardoc, good post! That's how I feel about DCOM too. I LOOOOOve it here and am not worried at all about it being a new school.. to me it makes it better because we are making our own destiny. Woot!😍

 

[avan2011]

Nascardoc
Yes I should've been studying but instead I was about to go to bed. I very rarely stay up past 11, but apparently I am going to start having to because I am way behind on my studies. It is definetly time to get focused!!!!

Piratesse.
What you couldn't figure out my name? That's because it's so ingenious!!! Ha ha..


Okay back to listening and learning about lovely skin infections...

 

[InTheMaking]

I'm going to be honest, the fact that DCOM is so new is a bit scary in terms of matching etc, but... theres just something about the place.

 

[MJB]

Congrats on the acceptances all! It was great meeting with the 1/15 interviewees...had to give an assist to my fellow ambassadors...

Looks like the question was handled quite well by ND...I have nothing to add... 🙂

 

[squad41]

When I first discovered DCOM about a year ago, Dr. Leo and I had talked about a DO/pHD program. He said it was definitely being pondered, but didn't know any details. Does anyone have any info on that?

 

[Cabbage]

hey, does anyone know how many spots are left? i got my interview in about two weeks. also, how quickly do they inform you of their decision...it would be awesome starting my last semester knowing im going to med school. 🙂

 

[prionsRbad]

Not sure about the # of spots still open, but they let me know exactly 1 week from the day that I interviewed. They told us that we would hear back in two weeks.

Good Luck on your interview!

Awwww thanks sheruns! 😀

So, you're interviewing at DCOM, right?

 

[Thanihilist]

I got my interview here in one day...literally. They e-mailed me a letter asking me to turn in my secondary for them and since I looked at this thread and saw this school was held in high esteem I decided to go with it. Some lady named Jenette (spelling?) called my house the next day but I was at work. So I'm going to call her today and set up an interview. Sounds like a sweet school though. I like the fact that it has a university setting.

Congrats on your interview! The university setting is a plus because we have access to the cafeteria, gym/pool, intramural sports, all of the basics that make life easier, lol. I heart my school!😍

 

[Syncope82]

I like the fact that it has a university setting.

that is what initially attracted me as well.....I like to be in a diverse environment while studying

I don't have any concerns over it being a new school as well. This is because I know that it is the person, not the school, that determines how well you do and how far you get in medicine. Study hard, and your board scores, grades, and LOR's will determine what residency you get...not where you went to school

 

[Syncope82]

exactly...when it's time to wind down...it is nice to have those luxuries that most private medical school lack....and who knows if one wants to date someone in the same class....

 

[sherruns]

Awwww thanks sheruns! 😀

So, you're interviewing at DCOM, right?

yes after MCAT.
10 more days, 10 more days!!

(could you see Bessie the Mad Cow? I didn't get the image back!) here's the thumbnail:

 

[Thanihilist]

Is it true you can get subsidized loans at DCOM because LMU is an established college? Because that's really the only downside I could think of for going to a new school. It's why I wouldn't go to Rocky Vista..well that and I'm not keen on the for-profit model...

Plus what do people do for fun in the Cumberland Gap?

They have provisional accreditation, which means they have access to all federal loans, unsubsidized and subsidized

 

[prionsRbad]

yes after MCAT.
10 more days, 10 more days!!

(could you see Bessie the Mad Cow? I didn't get the image back!) here's the thumbnail:

Good luck on the MCAT! It's almost over, yey!

Let us know when you got your official interview date! I foresee a rally thread! 😉

 

[LauraDO]

Hahaha, Yeah I can see Bessie now!

Good luck on the MCAT! It's almost over, yey!

Yeah, I"m confused, did they give you a date, or did they just tell you they would interview you after the mcat????

Plus what do people do for fun in the Cumberland Gap?

Yes, we can get federal loans b/c we are with an established university. There is one type of financial program (tuition re-emburesment program, maybe the NHSC???, I'll find out) we don't have b/c of the provisional accreditation, but it is something only a few students would do. Besides, we have other options and relationships that do the exact same thing, so its a wash. But you can get any type of loan you need.

As for fun, the biggest thing we do is hang out with each other and not study. That is a really nice thing to do, just veg out, watch movies and play video games. If you are the drinking type, there is a bar/club in Cumberland Gap. There is also The Oasis, where you can eat and drink beer, again, if that is your thing. Other than that, you have to go to Knoxville, which most people do when they want to have fun and get away for awhile. That is the nice thing about K-ville, its close enough to make it easily accessible, but far enough away where it is a good change of scenery to get away from the stress of school.

Congrats to the new interviewees!!!

Thanks for the breakdown...the reason why the rocky mountain DO school can't get those loans is because they arn't established with any other university, so it is a brand new entity

However, LMU already has an accredited undegraduate program, so they are not building a new entity, rather just adding onto the school

 

[sherruns]

Yeah, I"m confused, did they give you a date, or did they just tell you they would interview you after the mcat????

No date just a vague "do well on the test and we'll see you afterwards" but nice over the phone!
Not like your slam dunk!
LauraDO you are my personal hero

I'll just sit over here in Nevada and be for a few more days.

 

[nascardoc]

When I first discovered DCOM about a year ago, Dr. Leo and I had talked about a DO/pHD program. He said it was definitely being pondered, but didn't know any details. Does anyone have any info on that?

While a DO/PhD program is something that DCOM would like to have, its not something I see happening in the near future. It is their first priority to get, at least, our class graduated before adding that kind of program. A DO/MBA will be at DCOM in a shorter time frame though, perhaps within the next 2 years or so.

 

[jackson08]

Hey all! This is my first post but I'm a loyal follower and am incredibly impressed with the way everyone feels about DCOM. I'm interviewing on the 22nd (and pretty anxious!) and was wondering who else is going to be there! I look forward to meeting some of you at Oasis- I'll be the one there with my mom 🙂

Good luck to everyone! This is my first piece of positive feedback (although it occurred rather awkwardly) and I'm excited to experience DCOM first hand.

 

[MJB]

I would imagine the combined degrees might get going with more gusto once the new research building is completed...but I don't have any concrete knowledge on the subject...just a guess.

jackson, I'll be one of the folks doing your tour that day. I'll look forward to meeting you. Congrats on the interview.👍

 

[kimmi]

Hi! I am interviewing here on the 25th and really looking forward to it! I am planning on going to the Oasis the night before. Any other SDN'er going to be there?? I have to admit, I am a little nervous!

 

[Doctor Acula]

I'm going to be doing the oasis thing on the 28th, but i may come on the 25th as well. Our first test is on the 28th, so it's going to be crazy times around here. Anyone interviewing jan 29?

 

[DoctorMom78]

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's up?!?! Sorry to hear that your so bored, that sucks. Its never good to let a brain drain 😕 How are the kiddos doing? I was just thinking about you the other day. I was wondering how everything is going - getting ready for next year. I hope it is all working out well b/c I know the crap you went thru.

Everything up on the hill is going good. We started Micro, Immuno and Pharm. Immuno is like The long distance learning with UT-Memphis for Pharm is super cool. The 2 profs we've had so far from there have been incredible....soooo good. It is really going to be a great program, DCOM is very fortunate to have this relationship. MJB, Froggie and the rest of the gang, along with your fellow front rowers are doing well. If you ever get a chance, you should come by the cafe for a salad you can have mine 😉

We'll have to setup a date to see the horses. I have to meet Pete the Pony. For those in the Class of 2012, Pete is the leader of the DCOM underground network. Just an FYI

Talk to ya soon <--- I like the monkey

AWWWW!!!! I LOVE MICRO AND IMMUNO!!!! THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE TOPICS!!!! GRRRRRRR!!! Oh, and neuro too. Can I just come back now? LOL! I miss everyone. I ran into Pat Peace at...where else...the vet's office (where else would I be if I left the house?)...LOL. She said I should stop by too, but then I have to haul all the kids with me, so not so good.

If I had a trailer, I would bring Pete to DCOM to visit.😀

Thanks for the offer on the salad. I haven't had a good salad in a long time. I have been cooking good southern food like soup beans and corn bread trying to get my husband into the whole southern thing. He doesn't get it. He wanted to know where the soup was in the soup beans as well as all the other vegetables. LOL! I need a salad though. Good southern pork fat and prednisone are not a good combination. 😛

I am just hanging out with the kids and the horses being bored, although I do hear some good DCOM gossip every now and then which keeps things interesting. The Speedwell post office is going to get me into trouble with my husband though because they keep notifying me of new horses that need to be rescued. I will stop by some day when my husband is home with the kids. 🙂

 

[DoctorMom78]

Hey DrMom, I hope all is going well for you and your kids. I'm sorry to hear about school and wish you well!

Thank you!!! Kids are good. Horses are good. Life in general is good. So, I really can't complain too much. Good luck to you too!😀

 

[Corrupt200]

Got my interview invite today. I'll be interviewing on March 4. 😀

At least I see no one is badmouthing the school, the way they badmouth LECOM.
