What are your general comments?

I was very surprised by ACOM. The facilities and program structure exceeded what I have seen at multiple MD schools. Board scores and preceptor feedback support the program's lauding its strengths, not to mention the medical program is connected well and appreciated by the Dothan community. In time, ACOM will be considered a top DO program.
