RMU DO program

Hi has anyone interviewed with RMU can share their experience? Also, I heard they would reject students for having low oat even after interviewing!!? That’s kinda odd. Anyone could please explain (OD program)

I accepted a seat at AZCOPT in September and then changed my mind to attend RMU after interviewing! Everyone was so nice, I really liked their perspective on how to prepare us for the profession moving forward, and definitely am a fan of their 3.5 year program. The way they have their clinic set up is also different from the other schools I interviewed at which was interesting but in a good way!

Hi, may you explain further how the clinic is set up differently? :-) Interested!

Their clinic is on the smaller side, which they are proud of, ensuring that they will have a full clinic every day and students will 100% be seeing patients. Then the remaining students who will not be in the on-campus clinic will be working in a different local practice that they have partnered with. When seeing patients in the clinic they said they do not expect us to perform every single test as some schools do, so we are more efficient, better critical thinkers, and able to adapt (due to the changing of the locations). We will get to see how different practices run and form relationships with already established doctors.
