Can any one tell me which schools provide the most exposure throught their rotational/residential programs. Perhaps schools that are affiliated with the most hospitals, can you tell me which ones? Also, I heard that MSU is generaly thought of being #1 in that respect, can someone confirm/deny that? Thank you.

You might consider reviewing all this info through petersons guide to graduate schools. Good luck.

I've honeslty always thought that, among osteopathic institutions, NYCOM had the best clinical sites for rotations. First off, most of these hospitals are HUGE tertiary care facilities in NYC. Second NYCOM boasts rotations at public hospitals in the inner-city. Third at all of these allopathic hospitals, there are osteopathic role models who are chairs and heads of this and that.

NYCOM also reportedly operates the largest osteopathic residency program (NYCOM Educational Consortium) in the country. It even has a neurosurgery program at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, a regionally well-regarded hospital. Programs exist in a variety of areas.

About the only thing that NYCOM lacks is its own hospital. It has an ambulatory clinic, but that's just an ambulatory clinic -- nothing else. Its major clinical affiliation is St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, which supposedly is very osteopathic friendly, filled to the brim with DO chairs.

I'm a second year student at WVSOM, and am currently picking my rotation sites. Have have found that since we are not affiliated with any hospitals here I have an excelent selection to choose from. I am required to do two rural rotations here in WV...other than that it is up to me. Big hospital, small clinics...and I can go to any state I want.

Wow, this thread is 7 years old...wvdo2b is probably in private practice now.

I didn't go to WVSOM, but I rotated with a lot of WVSOM students. It seems like most of them were centered in the WV/PA/OH area. But maybe that was because they were from the area. I don't know.

Hopefully a WVSOM student can provide more info.
