Hey buddy, congrats on your acceptance! Are you asking these questions because you are debating whether or not to go to MSUCOM? Just wondering! I am a third year at COM right now, here are some answers to your questions:
1. How is the set up of 3rd year at MSUCOM? Do I have to move around alot? I would greatly (really greatly) prefer not to do that! Is it possible to stay only in one place for the whole 4 years except a couple of auditory rotation? If it is possible, how easy is it to get such sites?
During the summer semester after your first year at COM, they will give you information about all of the base hospital options that are available to your class. You can visit base hospitals as well - they will allow you to tour them and ask them further questions. At the beginning of your second year, you select your top choice for base hospital electronically. If the number of people that chooses a specific base hospital is equal to the number of slots available at that base hospital, then you are guaranteed a position at that hospital (so long as you pass your boards and the rest of second year). If the number of people that choose that base hospital exceeds the slots available, that hospital goes to "lottery." The "lottery" is held at some point during fall of second year, and basically all hospitals that had fewer slots than students wanting to go to them, get auctioned off by luck of the draw. Students that don't get their pick of base hospital then have to pick from the remaining choices.
The nice thing is that you can see how many people have picked a certain hospital. For e.g., I wanted to get out of EL for my rotations and go to the metro Detroit area ( I am from the metro DC area - EL was definitely not my style ); so, I initially picked my hospital based on both location and academics. As the time to finalize our choices came closer, I realized that my first pick had more students than slots available. So...I changed my choice to a different hospital so that I could definitely end up in the metro detroit area. I'm kind of stream of conscious here, just took my boards, so if any of this doesn't make sense, please PM me!
2. Do you need car to get around in east lansing? Can I just close to Campus and be done with it?
You definitely don't need a car in EL...but you WILL need a car once rotations start if you plan to stay in the Lansing area unless you wanna live literally IN the ghetto or pay a lot of money (like 1500) for a place out of the ghetto that isn't very nice. I know the metro detroit area doesn't have particularly nice apartments near the hospitals - and most of the walking distance hospitals are literally in the ghetto as are the hospitals. I can't speak to the other locations around the state, maybe my colleagues can chime in.
3. How are the rotation sites at MSUCOM?
So my girlfriend is a resident and has been at two different programs for her residency and fellowship. I have also visited my friends that are residents at other DO programs in smaller areas around the country. COM's base hospitals definitely have the best rotation sites in the DO world. The quality of the residents is top notch, the same as any of the mid-tier MD programs you would find, and the hospitals have a good patient population from which to learn. I think the rotation sites are the reason to go to MSU - I think they are what set it above the bar of any of the other medical schools in Michigan except for U Mich and (maybe) Wayne State.
So there you have it. PM me if you have any other qs. Are you in-state or out of state?
