"The fellow students" | Report Response

"That they accepted me." | Report Response

"The PBL program" | Report Response

"They gave me the opportunity to be a physician despite a slow start in college." | Report Response

"I enjoy the multiple pathways that allowed a personalized education." | Report Response

"PBL Low tuition" | Report Response

"Most of the faculty are very knowledgeable about what they teach and have a passion to teach students." | Report Response

"Very cheap tuition (~$30k) for a private school." | Report Response

"Great education, great teachers and rotation sites" | Report Response

"The administration is absolutely terrible and completely inept. If you can avoid it, do not go to the Seton Hill campus. They constantly put their students at a huge disadvantage are not apologetic about it." | Report Response

"The way it is run. The entire administration, particularly the dean is terrible and continue to make decision after decision to the determent of its students." | Report Response

"The OMM program" | Report Response

"I did not dwell on any negativity from other students since I was most grateful for being accepted when I knew it was a huge longshot." | Report Response

"I felt LECOM in some ways enforced to many rules that were unrelated to our education to show us that "it was their way or the highway"." | Report Response

"Awful policies No support Chaos" | Report Response

"The interior of the school building is very drab and gray. Sometimes they seem too strict with all of the rules against having food or drink in class, dress code, etc." | Report Response

"Mandatory attendance begins to wear you down during the spring semester of M2. You want to focus more on boards and thus sitting in lectures where slides are read to you are a waste of time." | Report Response

"Administration would hound us about little things" | Report Response

"This school had been under review for 2 years for low board and shelf scores. They do not give you dedicated board time even though this is pretty standard. If you are not going to pass based on practice exams, then they place you in mandatory remediation for boards which is 50hrs of lecture a week for 1 month (they use one of your vacation rotations to do this)." | Report Response

"This school is very suffocating. They treat adults like children. I seriously felt that I had more personal liberties in high school." | Report Response

"This is a great school despite all the negative rumors. The PBL program did a great job preparing me for Step 1 and clinical rotations." | Report Response

"The school is very strictly run, attendance required, dress code, etc. However, most jobs have specific rules as well if you want to work for any company. The school is readying you for a real world, being accountable profession long before you graduate." | Report Response

"The school does provide a solid curriculum with adequate teaching (some good and some bad). If you want to stand out however, you must learn on your own to do well on rotations and the boards. I did not feel lecom provided more than a strong basic sciences background." | Report Response

"There are no cadavers for anatomy; just books" | Report Response

"Despite our dress code and not being able to even have water in the classroom, I feel that these have sometimes helped me to learn and have definitely taught me about professionalism. Our classes are big but it doesn't seem that way because we work in small lab groups and get to know or at least recognize most of our classmates over the first 2 years of school." | Report Response

"Good school, but glad to be done" | Report Response

"They are all required." | Report Response

"Daily." | Report Response

"Most classes are mandatory" | Report Response

"Attendance is mandatory for everything and punishable if not met." | Report Response

"Attendance is always mandatory." | Report Response

"once or twice a week, i.e. OMM class and lab" | Report Response

"All the classes have mandatory attendance." | Report Response

"All" | Report Response

"no, but it is required that we purchase ALL of them through and electronic data base." | Report Response

"it varies by the course." | Report Response

"Many are "required" but for the Lecture discussion pathway, you can get away with less books. I bought Netter's Anatomy Atlas, Anatomy text, Guyton and Hall Physio, two cardio books, a neuro book and atlas, a ophthalmological text, and others I just borrowed older versions from the library. I bought books that I thought I would reference in the future." | Report Response

"Dependent on pathway. LDP, depending on the student, requires the use of no books or some. Many students choose to use USMLE review books along with classes. PBL/ISP students, due to them not being in class, need to use the books." | Report Response

"none" | Report Response

"We are told they are necessary but in reality, most courses you can get away without the book." | Report Response

"Depends on the student and how much they get out of lecture versus out of reading texts." | Report Response

"LDP - no books. PBL/ISP - need books." | Report Response

"all" | Report Response

"Not really. I think all curricula promote primary care because you learn a bit about everything." | Report Response

"Everything is geared towards a general knowledge of medicine in a primary care field." | Report Response

"primary care" | Report Response

"none. you find your own place." | Report Response

"None" | Report Response

"It is 50/50. The primary professors are absolutely terrible, they are frequently wrong during lectures and will not change their stance regardless of what data is given to them. The secondary professors are actually pretty effective teachers and willing to put in the time to teach you." | Report Response

"they are adequate." | Report Response

"Mixed - some okay, some pretty good, some awful. There is no mechanism for changing or reviewing bad faculty; criticism of faculty is considered disloyalty." | Report Response

"Excellent! Most are passionate about what they teach." | Report Response

"Anatomy/Histology/Embryo = Top Notch Biochemistry = Top Notch Physiology = OK Pharmacology = Terrible Pathology = Top Notch In regards to the best run systems: Cardio > MSK > GI > Basic Neuro > Heme/Onc > Endo > Repro > Resp > Clinical Neuro Clinical Neuro is just crazy tough." | Report Response

"Great" | Report Response

"Lackluster" | Report Response

"unavailable. you learn to pass the nbme shelfs and boards on your own" | Report Response

"Most are excellent. I have enjoyed my rotations thus far and learned a lot!" | Report Response

"scaled 0-10 for various things like professionalism, medical knowledge, etc." | Report Response

"A, B, C" | Report Response

"Same as above" | Report Response

"you schedule them on your own for the most part" | Report Response

"Very chaotic. Very difficult to do all rotations in the same hospital or even the same area." | Report Response

"Choose what month you want for vacation and which hospital group or area you want to spend the most time in. In groups of 8-10 or so there are required slots to fill for required rotations. Students must sort out who goes where for what. Required are OB/GYN, Peds, FM, Surgery x2, Internal Med x2, Psychiatry, Emergency Med x2, Ambulatory Med x2, Underserved/rural medicine, 2 primary care selectives, 1 surgical selective and 1 medical selective and 4-6 electives." | Report Response

"Rotations are scheduled by the students. You choose either "schedule" or "location" and choose your top 3 in each. Most students receive their top choice for both. M3 = standard required rotations, +2 electives, +1 vacation. Family practice can be done anywhere in the US as well as 1 "core selective." M4 = +3 electives, +1 vacation, +1 Step 2 study month, and the remainder are required rotations rural medicine, ER, AMB, surgical/medical selectives, ect." | Report Response

"Via an online portal - required are FP, OB, Peds, ER, Surg, R/U, Ambulatory, Psych" | Report Response

"learn all that you can and make sure you pass the shelf exams" | Report Response

"Varies with attending. Students may be first assist on surgery, lots of h&p's on all rotations, learn procedures like mole removal, suturing, omm on real patients, and many more." | Report Response

"N/A" | Report Response

"Depends on the hospital and the rotation - anything from just H&Ps to intubations and suturing" | Report Response

"we are affiliated with hospitals mostly in pa and fl." | Report Response

"Ranges from smaller community hospitals (lots of neat stuff, seemingly more autonomy as a student) to larger hospitals with various subspecialties." | Report Response

"Affiliated hospitals are all across the country; thus many students have to move to major cities (Cleveland, Buffalo, Philly, Pitt). Due to the school not paying for clinical rotations (thus cheap tuition), rotations are all over the eastern and midwestern states." | Report Response

"Some are great, others are poor" | Report Response

"varies by location" | Report Response

"Varies with location." | Report Response

"N/A" | Report Response

"Wide range - again, depends on where you are rotating" | Report Response

"most student either go out on the weekends to movies, work out throughout the week, play sports in at family first sports park." | Report Response

"Drink, honestly." | Report Response

"Go to restaurants or bars, comedy shows, mall, outdoor activities, esp. Lake Erie, wine country nearby." | Report Response

"Bars, Movies, Beach, ect." | Report Response

"Drink" | Report Response

"Most do reasonably well. You learn to do well in your third and fourth year because you need to learn on your own if you want to survive the boards. Our school does not really help us in this regard." | Report Response

"I think they fare well." | Report Response

"N/A" | Report Response

"Great" | Report Response

"most that know of our school like us!" | Report Response
