Another random fact about LECOM is the turnover of professors is extremely high for a medical school. LECOM is notorious for making professors wear "multiple hats" inside the school and thus performing a lot of different roles. The rumor is also, not surprisingly, that LECOM salaries are extremely poor except for the top people in the school which make bank. Plus, add the pressure of the administration bearing down on many of the professors - you have a recipe for high turnover.
The physiology department is one that is notorious for poor performance in LECOM students and the many physiology professors that have been there over the years have just been plain bad. I will not mention names but we had a physiology professor that would honestly get nervous talking to all the students and have to be corrected by multiple students in her lecture which in turn she would get defensive of course and proceed to write ridiculous test questions compared to the type of lecture she gave (usually very basic and easy).
The high turnover has caused LECOM to employ people that aren't even specialists in the subject to teach that subject just using old powerpoints from previous years. Obviously, this doesn't create a problem from a basic presentation point of view but when it comes to if a student has a question - well, you may be out of luck or just referred to your book. So much for being required to come to lecture everyday in LDP and learning if you are literally just going to be read off a slide and not have a lot of your questions answered.
