I'm currently trying to decide which of two schools to secure a seat at, at least temporarily. It's between DMU-COM and LECOM. I love Des Moines' program and facilities, but I fear that the 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations in Iowa and the midwest will be far inferior to clinical rotations available in Pennsylvania, at LECOM and PCOM. As much as I like Des Moines, I feel that I would be short-changing myself in regards to exposure and clinical experience for reasons of applying to residencies upon graduation.
Pennsylvania is rich with quality hospital systems and advanced healthcare. I would feel more comfortable, I think, being in Pennsylvania, where clinical rotations are easily accessible in all specialy areas.
Is anyone else considering this issue? Does anyone have any input on the matter?
