Why in the world would the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) opened a pharmacy school in Georgia?

It starts with M and ends with Y.

My dream is that the accreditation is based on the percentage of grads getting full time jobs in the last two years, since this is what the schools promise.

Do they? I wasn't aware.

You realize that for law schools they often post their post degree employment stats for potential students to see. To artificially inflate this state the school will make positions out of thin air for the unemployed grads to 'work' for the three months where the school takes these stats. This is exactly what would happen if what your asking for happened. Schools would just make up temp positions

yup. There is always a way to cheat the system. But considering the surplus, that's a lot of Truman shows for a pharmacy school to produce.
