Wanted to invite 3rd, 4th and recent graduates of D.O. programs to take a moment to evaluate their clinical experiences. The good....the bad.....the ugly.... so some of us could get an idea of the differences between schools and evaluate if OOS or higher tuition in general, is worth the investment to attend particular programs. Thanks for your time as I am sure you are quite busy.

The clinical experience for osteopathic medical students varies greatly even within the same school. Most schools have a mixture of good and bad clinical sites, and it's pure luck if you end up at mostly the good sites or the bad sites. Moreover, just because you do your rotations at the "good" rotation sites doesn't mean you will necessarily have a good experience. You may be paired up with attendings, residents, and interns who have no interest in teaching or, perhaps, your patient census will suck for that month. Alternatively, you may end up at a "bad" site but you might have an amazing attending who teaches a lot, so it ends up being a great learning experience. The clinical education at all medical schools, particularly DO schools, is unpredictable. I had a good clinical experience, but I had many classmates who hardly learned a thing.
