It's still reputable. But I think that they've tarnished their image by opening up so many schools.

With who? SDN?

it is a competent school. not much more than that.

Lol, seriously. How would you know?

from what I have gathered, there really isn't anything (that I find, at least) particularly special or redeeming about the VCOM's compared to other DO schools, save their proximity (in a geographic sense) to VT or Auburn.

Objection! Conjecture.

This might have something to do with COCA's goals...

Jeeze. Why is it so high in Philadelphia? Isn't there a huge amount of doctors in that area (Boston not withstanding, obviously).

I take offense to their "restaurant chain"-like model of medical education. I think it is embarrasing and degrading to our profession.

Forgive any of us who feel this way.

So then do you take offense to LECOM, MWU and ATSU? They all have multiple branches.

Edit: Forgot about Touro and Western University.

Oh! And University of Minnesota (MD school) has medical schools in Minneapolis and Duluth, MN.
