Looking through PCOM's site I noticed that they have numerous numbers of spots for orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery. Does anyone know how good these programs rank againt most of the MD schools programs. Does the Orthopedic have anything to do with sports medicine and that doctor of the 76'ers? And the board has talked about many DO neurosugery programs being underpar, is this true for this program? It seems to be very large with 15 spots. It actually seems if it would be easier to go to PCOM and become a neurosurgeon then most other MD schools because of the size of the program.

I do not think the ortho spots are anyway affiliated with the 76ers, as all of their physicians are MDs as are the Eagles.

That is the first time I've heard someone say it would be easy to become a brain surgeon! 😉

haha, ya... I guess i didn't mean easy. I guess I am going crazy when i asked if they were affiliated with the 76'ers. I must have been thinking of some other school, and some other team.

The 76ers use PCOM gym as their practice court.
