What are your general comments?

"Reading the reviews on this website, I had mixed feelings about what to expect from the school. The Dean is pushing to make the school even stronger than it already is and he is trying to establish COMP as a strong OMM research school. I believe the school has a good curriculum with early clinical training and great clinical affiliations in the LA area. After visiting and hearing what the staff and students had to say, I am confident that COMP trains the best osteopathic physicians. There are MANY student organizations that bring a sense of community to the school. The students are also very involved in the community and work with underserved patients. The school also makes a decision within a week." Report Response
