What do you like most?

Professors not associated with administration or 3rd and 4th year. They care the most and have the most invested in their students.

What do you like least?

Clinical Education. Their meetings are disorganized and and full of double speak, making it impossible to give them what they want. They don't respond to emails and have admitted in the past that they won't if they feel they don't need to respond. The major issue with this is, emails include questions indicating a point of confusion or dispute. This typically would be something that would require a response. When students aren't able to perform to a standard that is never communicated to them, Clinical Education staff respond with professionalism violations and aggressive emails. PCOM-GA is rapidly losing preceptors in the area and it is very easy to see why when the ClinEd department behaves the way they do.

What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?

They're okay. Not top of the line but also not old and worn down. The mannequins and new surgical suite/ICU suites used for simulations are wonderful. It's a shame students only get in them 6 times per year.

How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?

In many cases yes. Much of this success is in spite of PCOM-GA not because of PCOM-GA

What are rotations like?

Unorganized and hectic. Students have their rotations cancelled last minute and are left with nothing to do for months at a time. Preceptors often complain students don't know how to report back to their preceptors.

Any other information you want to share?

The OMM department is incredible and have done wonders to prepare students for the OMM component of COMLEX. Classes are weighed down by "clinical applications" lectures which, while helpful, are not concepts tested on boards and detract from relevant board study. Student affairs leave much to be desired. Students who submit reports about harassment/stalking received from other students are cross examined as to why they allowed a person who would harass them into their life and told that they should have done more to protect themselves instead of receiving help. Professors are allowed to yell at students during exams with no repercussion and no addressing of incidents by administration.
