How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, LECOM-B website

What impressed you positively?

How much the students were into the PBL, facilities

What impressed you negatively?

You will travel a lot for 3rd and 4th year, cost of living is high, you only go to OMM lab once a week, prosection based anatomy, anatomy is only 10 weeks

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You pay $26,000 a year to go to class for 2 hours a day, 3 days a week, with a faculty member who doesn't teach, rather facilitates the group's learning discussion

What are your general comments?

The interview day is typical: presentations, tour, interviews, wrap-up. I didn't get a good sense that you get exposure to clinical skills, aside from physicals and histories. The curriculum is very innovative, but I felt there was something lacking. If I were to pay $26,000 a year for med school, I would want a little more than a ten week anatomy survey, 2 hours of PBL M/W/F, OMM lab once a week (Thursday) and clinical exam class (Tuesday). Don't get me wrong, I thought the PBL was a great way to learn, but I just didn't feel as comfortable with the curriculum as at other schools. If you are comfortable with independent study as your primary means of learning, then LECOM-Bradenton is right for you.
