There is an enormous trend for schools to build sister schools...examples follow:

1) LECOM/LECOM-Bradenton
2) PCOM/PCOM-Georgia
3) Midwestern U. CCOM/AZCOM
4) ATSU/ATSU-Mesa

and more, but you get the idea..

Why is this so? This is out of pure curiosity...

i've seem it mentioed here that it may be easier to get accreditation that way instead of starting from scratch.

I'm crossing my fingers for MSUCOM-Honolulu.

Do they offer rotations in Cayman Brac?

have any of you guys received invites from both sister schools? i have an interview at pcom-ga and lecom-bradenton, but have yet to hear back from pcom or lecom (which are higher up there on my list). just curious if they have some type of policy...

I received invites from CCOM and AZCOM - so I don't think it should matter. 🙂

I'm from the south. PCOM-Ga invited me for an interview and I declined, but I think that PCOM is inviting regionally, so I'm not expecting an interview invite from PCOM-PA.

Interviewed at both Touros. One has vampires. The other has frankensteins.

I'm thinking of applying to PCOM-GA as well....would this affect my chances at Philly?

While trying to push me to apply for PCOM-GA instead of PCOM, the health professions adviser at my university told me that PCOM-GA told her that they are trying to recruit students heavily from the appalachian region of North Carolina/Virginia, which makes sense since their mission is produce doctors that will serve underserved areas.

This reply confuses me, but I'd really like to know more. Come back two years later Rufus ...

Yes, if it is 2 years old. Oftentimes people are commenting on a thread that is 2 years old. It offers no benefit or relevance to much of anything.
