SJS...lucky and oklahoma suffer from a severe form of S.L.O.C.
Uneducated....i believe i read that you were wait-listed at azcom and didn't find out till late of acceptance (once you'd already decided on oklahoma??)
so bitterness is understood (although it still makes you uneducated, just passionately uneducated)
you may soon see (once you start school😉)that biggest isn't always best...personally i really enjoy having a friendship with my classmates and professors and deans...you don't get lost in the numbers.
yet another uneducated comment, rather un-lucky-ish. Again, hearsay is a beast, and most often an misguided one.
The most vocal (as seen on both on sdn and peoples "friends") are usually A: the laziest, thus they have negative experiences that are always "someone elses fault", B: malignant personalities whose sole purpose in life is to suffer from SLOC, or finally, C: ignorant.
AZCOM's clinical education is wonderful, why do we year in and year out have a 100% FIRST TIME pass rate? Phoenix has plenty of opportunities, some not available until your fourth year, but that is not all that unusual. The preceptor idea is excellent, but you must do the work to ensure that you are with a doctor that meets your needs/personality. You have ample opportunity to do hospital rotations...don't let the malignants fool you.
To the OP, although i would not say AZCOM is the "BEST" in clinical ed, simply because of what someone else previously said...it is very objective, i don't think there can be a "best", AZCOM will provide you a quality education that, with work on your part, will take you where you want to go.
