"The pre-clinical faculty is mostly very good. The neuroscience department is unmatched, the pharm faculty was superb. The campus is very nice and upheld well. The OMM faculty is knowledgable and helpful." Report Response
"Administration is terrible, disorganized, uncoordinated. There is very little student support and feedback. Deans do not listen to student requests which results in student frustration very commonly. The tuition and cost of attendance is not worth it, the education is not world class or to be sought out for the price. Clinical rotations are a hit or miss but thats a common feature of all DO schools. The testing schedule is murder as you're in a constant cram session for 2 years - This is not the way medicine should be taught. Our tuition is constantly wasted on subpar resources (COMBANK, IHuman, etc) and when students suggest getting something like Uworld or Pathoma, we are denied." Report Response

"Facilities are mostly new and well maintained." Report Response
"I have yet to meet an AZCOM alum that was "adequately" prepared for residency. That being said, newly minted physicians out of medical school rarely are. Residency is where the real clinical learning occurs." Report Response
"AZCOM has 3 main cohorts; Arizona, California, Chicago. Arizona - AZCOM has local agreements with hospitals that students commonly rotate in. Others are preceptor (not ward) based. Chicago - AZCOM and CCOM are sister schools and share their clinical rotations. California - Can be a complete crapshoot. Most rotations are preceptor based. All students have at least 1 ward based rotation (in California, will likely only be 1 anyway) Setting up electives with AZCOM faculty in 4th year is a chore. Coordinators are misguided and misinformed most of the time, documents and agreements are out of date for many sites, VSAS generally is very useless to DO students to begin with." Report Response
"Typically very well. This has more to do with individual drive and perseverance than the support of the AZCOM faculty in your matching experience. Students who want plastic surgery work very hard to obtain that residency and that is true about all schools." Report Response
"With my experience, AZCOM should be worth half of what the tuition actually costs at most. The interview experience is misleading as you only see what is presented (a very clean facility). The education is not the best and the clinical rotations are adequate at best. The students are the only redeeming quality and it is because of the drive and perseverance to be well educated and ready. AZCOM has not provided me with much to brag about except a 400k+ bill. The faculty is not responsive to student requests, however reasonable they might seem (Uworld instead of COMBANK). The administration is absolutely awful and unorganized. At least the campus always has bright green grass..." Report Response
