Both:
LMU-DCOM:
Pros:
Baptist:
Pros:
- Have federal loans
- Are OOS for me (both 7 hours away from home town)
- Graded
LMU-DCOM:
Pros:
- Residency matches are impressive, always >99%,
- Historically has a decent reputation
- Most expensive (by about 7k per year)
- Rotation sites are all over the place, would really love to not move in year 3/4
- Primary care focused, would love to match into a specialty or a competitive IM fellowship (i think they have the most primary care physicians graduates)
- Lots of negative opinions recently, opening a 3rd campus already, weird ambiguous mandatory attendance policy
- Cant do research if under a 3.0 (these seemed like a red flag to me tbh, basically gatekeeping from competitive specialties)
- No teaching hospital access
- No affiliated residencys
- Not mandatory attendance but if you have under a 3.0 then it is mandatory attendance
- Have heard of high attrition, but I am not too sure tbh.
Baptist:
Pros:
- the school is in the medical district, surrounded by hospitals
- Clinical hasn’t happened yet, but the sites look very promising
- connected to Baptist health systems which has their own residency
- may have more opportunities for clinical research
- affiliated residencys in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Radiology, and General Surgery.
- slight cheaper (52K year) (7k cheaper)
- slightly lower COL
- New school, I will be 2nd class. No board or match data.
