Clinical Rotations by School

samedi 17 octobre 2015

Hello all, after going through DO school and being a resident for a bit, I have noticed that the single most determining factor to DO perception and success in residency stems from the 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations. In all honesty, this is the major difference between DO and MD training. There’s a lot of talk about what schools have this and that rotations but information is difficult to find for prospective DOs. Clinical rotations are something that too few pre-meds think about.

I thought it would be useful for us to make a list of our schools and what they offer prospective DO students for 3rd and 4th year. I figured I could post this here for 1st and 2nd year students and it could be moved to pre-osteo at some point as well. It would be nice to keep the same/similar format for easy comparison when applicable. I can start it off with my own school of which the site selection guide is found available on the Internet:

ATSU-KCOM

Length at each site: 2 years – complete 3rd and 4th year

How is site determined?: match “lottery” similar to the residency match but is not based on merit. Each site has a number of spots (ex. Christian St. Louis has ~15, Kirksville ~12, etc.)

Do students have to set up their own rotations?: No, unless they want to go outside their designated site

Freedom to do rotations outside of designated site?: Yes, with exemption for required rotations and no restrictions for 3 months of electives/auditions

States/Sites: Arizona (1 – multiple hospitals), Illinois (4), Michigan (7), Missouri (14), New Jersey (1), Ohio (6), Pennsylvania (1), Utah (3)
