What do you like most?
-
Curriculum is with osteopathic medical students so you get a great medical education and it prepares you to be a great physician while also a great podiatric physician.
-
My favorite thing about WesternU's College of Podiatric Medicine is that fact that we are 93% incorporated with our D.O. counterparts. Because of this we are receiving that exact same education as they are. WesternU's philosophy is physician first then specialist!
What do you like least?
-
It is one of the harder programs since it's with osteopathic students plus the podiatry curriculum on top.
-
Because we're so incorporated with our D.O. counterparts, we (podiatry students) are sometimes forgotten about because there are only 50 of us students compared to the 350 D.O. students.
🧾 The Details ▼
What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?
-
The Facilities at WesternU are very nice. The main building where we have 90% of our lectures was built in 2009 and is very nice with lots of individual study rooms. The anatomy is in an older building, but is very well kept, and has monitors all over the room- so no matter where your at, you will have a monitor within view.
How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?
-
Students who graduate from WesternU do very well after graduation, especially during their 4th year externships and residency's, due to taking all of the same classes as their D.O. counterparts.
What are rotations like?
-
I'm just a first year student so I have gone on rotations yet, but i've only heard very positive things.
How do students from this program do in the Match?
-
For this year WesternU had a 100% match rate!
Any other information you want to share?
-
I love WesternU, and though are curriculum is extremely difficult, i'm so grateful for it, it is really helping me understand medicine and what it means to work in the health field.
Success!
