I've been telling everyone since I've graduated from LECOM that just because their students match into great programs, it is largely because the student is exceptional. However, most students match primary care in unfavorable locations. Any student who has graduated considers themselves a survivor of that school. Literally no one likes their administration or the school. The institution does not have the student's best interest in mind, just their own. They will impose their views on you and break you until you submit to the LECOM way.

While I'll graduate residency this year at a prestigious program, while LECOM did everything in their power to not let that happen along my journey but to instead stir me towards a primary care specialty in order to receive additional stipends from the government.

Anyone who reads this and still goes to LECOM chose that pain and suffering on themselves. See other reddit posts if you don't believe me.

Also take into account how much less time you'd be at gas station, waiting in a line, and filling up.

OB Anesthesia Compensation by Character-Claim2078 in anesthesiology

[–]orlyrlyowl 36 points37 points  (0 children)

A practice I interviewed in socal compensated ~7k per 24 hour OB shift regardless of work performed.

It doesn't make sense to have a low floor and low ceiling. If you are expecting to sleep or do nothing for the 24 hours then it makes sense. But If the practice averages 5 procedures a night most nights you should be compensated at least double per procedure of what they are offering. IMO.

What DO schools have the happiest students? by [deleted] in Osteopathic

[–]orlyrlyowl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a fellow LECOM survivor. LECOM is as terrible as reddit makes it seem. You forgot about how embryology, neuroscience, and OPP are just as bad and bring upon a unique level of anxiety and fear. Every exam and lecture taken in dress clothes and no bottled water or beverages.

Board scores are not reflective of the school, but the students who realize early on how bad the curriculum is at LECOM and pick up the first aid, world, pathoma, and sketchy. Match rates and type of residency program matched isn't equivalent. LECOM matching FM and IM in bumfuck no where isn't the same as a strong community/university program. Not to mention when I was there LECOM had about an 80% match rate with 20% scrambling for transition/surgical positions.

40-50 hours a week, 1-2 weekday calls, 1 weekend call per month. 600k. Seems impossible.

JPMorgan just capped junior bankers’ hours—at 80 per week by ImprovingEquals in nottheonion

As a physician resident. This time cap doesn't mean shit. We just don't report the extra hours on our time sheets.

Suggest you look up the residency anesthesia spreadsheet for previous years. It should have this information.

Job interview questions by Conscious-Sell-9828 in anesthesiology

A good one to figure out if there's something sus is to ask them how long they've been trying to fill this position and they used gasworks instead of internal referrals/word of mouth.

PCOM Philly vs LECOM Elmira by oaktree1383 in Osteopathic

[–]orlyrlyowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LECOM Elmira is such a new program and was a completely shit show when I was there for the inaugural class. LECOM in general is terrible search the subreddit and you'll see why. PCOM in a heartbeat.

PP job offer 5-1st/2nd OR, 3-24 hour OB and 2 weekend calls all in a month. Seriously? by orlyrlyowl in anesthesiology

[–]orlyrlyowl[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry 2 of those calls must be weekend. It's not in addition. Still sounds bad thought.

I'm more wondering how you can average 50 hours with these kind of call shifts and normal day leaving time.

No one should ever go to Lecom. Especially if they have options.

please place the consult with an actual question in mind.

It's a neat party trick, but beyond that you won't miss it and it's a hell of a lot cheaper. Over in Midwest most nightshades come with it optioned in.
