Geisinger Health System just announced an agreement to purchase the school.
Just saw this in the paper. Wow incredible newsGeisinger Health System just announced an agreement to purchase the school.
To put it simply, this deal brings more money into the school. It brings more research, both money and opportunities. It brings more places to rotate in third and fourth year at places with established residency programs.
From the perspective of a current or prospective student this is nothing but good news.
As a current student I think the new merger's positives definitely out-way the negatives. As mentioned, the school will have financial stability and many more opportunities within the Geisinger health system. Not only does this mean more rotation opportunities third and fourth year but more research opportunities throughout all four years. On top of that, they are even considering adding another regional campus in Danville to do rotations at.
As far as residency and matching is concerned I think it helps a lot to put a well-established and renowned name connected to the school on apps and during interviews. It will also open the door to forming connections within the system that will be very valuable throughout your career even beyond residency.
The only possible negatives I see are a possible loss in the tight knit atmosphere at the school where currently students and faculty have a large say in school matters. With more bureaucratic oversight this may be restricted, though Geisinger has assured us that we will keep much of our autonomy and that they want to hear from us on how to improve the relationship and make sure everything works out.
TL;DR Most people at the school are excited about the new opportunities!
So does this mean that TCMC students will have "home program advantage" at Geisinger residency programs?
Geisinger’s academic programs, including its residency training programs, will be integrated under the college. Dr. Scheinman will continue as president and dean and will also become the chief academic officer and executive vice president at Geisinger Health System. Employees of TCMC will also become employees of Geisinger.
Everything the other current students shared is the same views I have as a current student. It only helps us. Danville is such a big hospital and has a ton of residency programs. I believe since that is our parent institution, we would have home program advantage for Geisinger Residency Programs. They got a ~2 million dollar grant to study genomics and human disease as well so that's a big area for research, especially for TCMC students.
Only disadvantage...the potential name change. Not sure if GCCM (assuming this is the name) rolls off the tongue as well as TCMC did.
Yeah, especially since the Dean will become an academic officer of the Geisinger program. The announcement can be found here: https://tcmc.edu/press_release/geisingercommonwealth/
Geisinger also has a variety of solid programs in EM, Ob/Gyn, surgery and IM and now that they own the school, it would be in their best interest that the students match (which is similar to other medical schools linked to hospital systems). . It was the only MD school in the state without such an affiliation, which might have made some people hesitant about the school so this is definitely nothing but great news to applicants.
