UNECOM rotations

[Doc Oc]

I have heard about the third year rotations, and how they can be "all over". From my interview, my understanding was that the sites may not be in Maine, but that you will be matched with a core hospital in PA, NJ, OH, or some other place, and will spend your whole third year there. Those who choose to stay in Maine for the third year will be the ones changing locales every 4-8 weeks when the rotation subject changes. I have tried to find this info on the UNECOM website and have not found anything. My questions are: 1) Where are these "core" hospitals?
2) What about the 4th year?
3) Where can I find more about the required rural rotation in Maine?
I'd appreciate any info on this, or a point in the right direction. Thanks!

Check out the topic "Best Osteopathic Schools," starting 11/18 under this heading. One student from UNECOM speaks to these questions. Also check the AOA website, which has listing of all affiliated hospitals for each school.
