1) Go to OU-COM, then do 3rd & 4th year @ Ou-Tulsa
2) Go to OU-COM, then stay in OKC to do years 3 & 4
3) Go to OSU-COM
Incidentally..... 1>2>3
My advice - go to OU for med school, then to OU-Tulsa for 3rd and 4th year. That is THE BEST way to become an Oklahoma-trained physician. You will not regret it. How do I know, you ask? I may be a D.O., but I trained @ UMDNJ in Jersey. I did a rotation @ OSU-COM, specifically @ TRMC. Awful. Also, I am a resident @ OU-Tulsa and finally, my wife is a graduate of OU-COM and she completed her 3rd and 4th year @ OU-Tulsa. I love being a D.O. and intuitively you'd think a guy like me would recommend OSU-COM, but all in all I have to say FOR THE MOST PART, people who do #1 get the best education available in Oklahoma as far as medicine is concerned. Also, look at match lists and board scores. It all supports what I'm saying. Good Luck, Johnny!
OSUdoc08 said:TRMC may be awful, but St. Anthony's is the only accredited chest pain institution in the state. This hospital is used exclusively for OSU-COM rotations. In addition, Integris Southwest Medical Center is used for OSU-COM rotations, and has one of the best emergency departments in the state.
Try your best, but these are excellent hospitals.
OSU-COM students have a choice of St. Anthony's & Integris Southwest Medical Center or TRMC & Hillcrest for core.
DrFeelgoodDO said:I will admit that St. Ants is a good hospital. I don't know much about Integris SW, but it's got the only other ER residency in the state....so it must be the greatest, right?
Admittedly, I did not know that OSU-COM students could do their clinical years in OKC. With that in mind, I still highly doubt that OSU-COM can provide a better education than OU, particularly OU-Tulsa. Nice try, Gwendolyn.
My list revised:
1) Go to OU-COM, then do 3rd & 4th year @ Ou-Tulsa
2) Go to OU-COM, then stay in OKC to do years 3 & 4
3) Go to OSU-COM, then do 3rd & 4th year @ St. Ants/Integris
4) Go to OSU-COM, then stay @ TRMC for years 3 & 4
Big props to OSUdoc for making this revised list happen!!
