Dropped Rotations Galore

So, you suffer through the first 2 years of medical school at LECOM and you get to rotations.  Congratulations.  I will not even begin to explain the rotation selection process as it is one big "clusterf*ck" and becomes extremely stressful for many people.  But, after the selection process then you deal with many people having their rotation site dropped and scrambling to find another area to rotate in which could be forever away.  Oh yeh, and administration will hound you about it like it is your fault the rotation got dropped.  When the real reason the rotation got dropped is because LECOM is too cheap and do not pay their rotation sites like 99% of other medical schools.  So, the rotation sites aren't guaranteed and they can drop that rotation at any time if they want - leaving you without a rotation for the period of time unless you find another site.

Like I said not everyone gets a rotation dropped - it is just one of the additional stress factors LECOM students have to deal with because of the incompetence of LECOM administration and "their ways".
