PCOM website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

Everything! PCOM is really awesome! I loved the curriculum- it's systems-based with a myriad of learning methods. PCOM-affiliated rotation sites are strong. The faculty is incredibly helpful with an open door policy. The students are really nice and appear happy to be there. The staff were really friendly. The facilities are wonderful. The cafeteria is clean and bright. The food is pretty good as well. The gym was really impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

The board pass rate seemed a little low as compared to the other schools that I visited- I believe it was 92%. The area could be improved upon a little bit, but it's a wonderful school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
