Take it from a guy who has used SIM centers both here and in the past- they're glorified toys and nothing more. You'll learn more in a good day in the hospital than in every sim experience you could possibly get at any school. What we do a lot of that is far more useful clinically is interact with standardized patients, starting in the first few weeks of year one, which takes place on campus in the Pett Center. We still do sims during second year, but trust me, they aren't all that fulfilling compared to a SP and can't hold a candle to a real patient.
UNECOM has a very cooperative and friendly student culture- that's why I came here and continues to be my top reason for recommending the school. Our match list is decent, but tend to be heavily weighted toward primary care due to self-selection (we have a VERY primary care focused mission, so they tend to accept people with a strong primary care interest). You can do rotations all over the northeast- NY, NJ, and New England. We're pretty OMM focused during first year, and have an excellent anatomy program with a 4:1 student:cadaver ratio that is a full year in length, followed by six weeks of neuroanatomy in second year. We've got a great reputation in the northeast, largely due to our strong clinical skills focus that has us doing full histories and physicals, as well as full differential diagnoses, in year one.
That's my feelings in it. I really like the school. You'll hate your first two or three blocks though, guaranteed, as block weeks are cripplingly stressful until you adjust. After that, UNECOM is wonderful.
