After researching sdn posts on the topic of choosing/ranking/finding the best osteopathic medical school, the answer usually centers on desires, cost, location, and most importantly clinical rotations. others say rotations are what you make of them, and that there isnt really a difference between rotations at different schools, since after all they are required to have affiliated hospitals.
Granted state osteopathic medical schools like umdnj, msucom, unt-com, osucom, oucom, i would assume would have the advantage of keeping their rock solid sites since they are state funded. but still as match lists indicate their students' success is comparable to private schools.
I guess this is why some schools like LECOM-Erie and LECOM-B attract so many applicants, they have great cost, great location choices cool erie and sunny LECOM-B. regarding rotations well obviously they know what they are doing just look at their match lists.
Lastly, i was looking at the do-online residency opportunities website, and i noticed quite a few times that many of their residencies are spread out. so for example if you were interested in pm&r, turns out that nycom maintains i think 2/3 sites, so would nycom students who were interested in pm&r have the edge over students at other schools. i know you can schedule away rotations, but would nycom give you an "edge" for that pm&r residency of making connections over another school?
