What impressed you positively?

The school is great. Nice facilities and the professors/students were great. They are involved with various forms of research and are continuously trying to improve their school and rotation opportunities. The dean is really excited about their program and their board passing rates (around 100%) which is fantastic. You can't go wrong with this school. The student housing is great and affordable, and Phoenix is a great city (just poorly laid out).

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was horrible. From hello is was one ethical question after another. The DO was doing everything in his power to get me to break, but I didn't (yea baby). If you are going to discuss ethical questions such as abortion, death penalty etc, then lets talk about it, don't give me some huge controversial topic and only give me a minute to respond (WTF). Give me a break. The whole thing was rushed and they seemed more interested with the clock than they were with me. I left feeling that they knew nothing about me as a person, and that was lame. The questions were difficult but I just answered them as honestly as possible and think I did just fine. The anatomy lab was not as nice as it could be and the OMM lab is huge (TVÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s don't cover the whole area, if you were in the corner things could be interesting), besides our student tour guide didn't have a key to let us in to check it out, so maybe it was better than what I could see through a 4"x20" slit!! The cafeteria wasn't very good at all, horrible food. The work out facility is small. Our student guide was a first-year student (there for only a few weeks) and knew almost nothing about the school. The campus is NOT wireless and didn't seem as technologically advanced as other schools I have visited prior. The dean bragged about how the school did vs. MD schools even though his own 2 sons attended MD schools (why not DO?? Why not AZCOM???). It makes the decision even more difficult for those who are deciding between an MD or DO. It was only 105 when I was there and was told it was a "cooler day". WOW!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

Overall, the experience was good. AZCOM is a great school and I consider it one of my top choices despite a difficult interview. Anybody will get a quality education there will go on to become great physicians. The rotation problem people keep writing about is completely bogus. You can either set up your 3rd year yourself or have them set it up for you. Which makes it nice to have the freedom to choose your own locations etc. There are some downfalls (as do all schools), but overall AZCOM is a great school. Check it out.
