Hey y'all , I am looking for some input on how to make this decision. I have been fortunate to have been accepted to both OCOM and RVU MCOM. I have an upcoming interview with Burrell Melbourne but am unsure of where they rank in this discussion. My home state is Florida and I would love to stay here but I would like to pursue non primary care specialty. Any advice or input is appreciated.

OCOM
Pros
  • Located in my home state near my undergrad.
  • Have deep ties in the area to pursue Orthopedic Research
  • Beautiful and modern campus
  • In state rotation sites with decent hospital Programs

Cons
  • Not established
  • heard they do not encourage taking Step exams but I have no proof on this matter.
  • Virtual Cadaver lab , this is the main con for me . I think they are implementing virtual reality tech with Apple Vision Pros.


RVU MCOM
Pros
  • RVU has established program with match rates into competitive specialties
  • Research opportunities encouraged
  • Encouraged to take Step Exams alongside Comlex
  • Actual Cadaver Labs
  • Beautiful and Modern campus

Cons
  • Questionable Rotation sites
  • Move from Florida to Billings

Summary: Would love some input from you guys and maybe some students also. If anyone can advise where BCOM ranks in here feel free to ! Thank you
