Why LECOM-Erie?

This first post will somewhat explain why I have chosen to start this information/blog/continual update about the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie medical school.  First off, this will not be some well written blog or website as it will just be used to provide honest and straightforward information, happenings, etc that go on at LECOM-Erie.

One of the big problems I had when choosing LECOM as my medical school was the lack of any "real" knowledge of what it is like here or what really goes on.  The school puts on such a front and pony show that the truth is sort of masked unless you can manage to talk to some students outside of the school that will give you the real low down and not the "student government" and "PBL pathway" students in the 2nd lunchroom "low down" that in my opinion is a bit sugar-coated.

Many of you will see this as a supposive disgruntled student letting off steam.  Disgruntled, no...frustrated with the unbelievable things that go on at the school and the way matters are handled in a supposive "professional" manner.  I am now a 2nd year so I feel I have been at LECOM Erie long enough to provide a decent overview of what it is like here for those that are searching for information on making a choice on where you want to go to medical school.  And, that is what this blog is mainly for.  Since LECOM wants to hide what they truly are and choose to be very vague and manipulative in their ways - I feel this blog/website can provide an open and honest perspective of what goes on here that sets this school apart so much I feel from every other medical school, both allopathic and osteopathic.  And, when I say sets this school apart - I will say more so in a negative light rather than positive.  But, I will try to present things honestly and with my own ramblings thrown in and let you choose for yourself whether that is something you like or do not like or whatever.

Again, this isn't a hate blog or anything like that - I just wanted an easy outlet to present honest and "open-door" information about LECOM-Erie which does a good job of keeping the inner-workings, unless you attend the school, fairly secretive to the outside and more importantly potential students.  More to come...
