Hi all.
I am posting this in both pre-Allopathic and pre-Osteopathic subforums, I hope that doing so is ok. Just searching for opinions. I have some questions about DO schools and Puerto Rican MD schools (US MD schools, with LCME accriditation ). I am aware of their eligibility requirements so that is not an issue. I am just wondering how these programs compare.
US MD Schools in Puerto Rico
San Juan Bautista
Universidad central del caribe
DO schools
ACOM
MU-COM
Touro Nevada
Touro NY
LECOM -Erie/Seton Hill
Touro CA
SOMA
Would an MD from PR put me at an advantage over a DO from these schools as far as matching to residencies is concerned? Are matchlists available online? How would SJB's probation affect matching?
Are these schools considered about the same as far as quality of education is concerned? I know ACOM and MU-COM are new, but I heard that their staff is experienced and saw that some SDN'ers were impressed by their interview experience. Plus I read that MU has great support from hospitals and doctors in the area.
These are the two criteria I am weighing:
- Residency matching (when possible)
- Quality of education
What would be your top 3 ranked choices based on the list?
Thank you for reading
