2019-2020 Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
From their handbook,
"Students must maintain a professional appearance. Professional attire must be maintained
whenever the student is on the campus and on all clinical experiences or rotations. Students must
be professionally dressed for all lectures and examinations and appropriate dress for laboratory,
classes, or workshops."
Maybe I'll never come to campus, ha!

Any word on why the dean left before the first class even started their second year? That is highly unusual.

"MERIDIAN — The founding dean of Idaho’s first medical school is leaving his position this year.

The Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine announced on Friday that Robert Hasty, founding dean and chief academic officer, will be leaving his position after more than three years of service.

Hasty was offered a position to help lead the creation of a new osteopathic medical school but could not disclose its name or location."

I don't like the sound of this... seems super sketchy to just go around starting a bunch of med schools and then leaving before the first class even matches??

It's probably just about money. Don't freak out.
 
I hope we all get interviews and we all interview the same day and we can exchange pet pics in person

One of my neighbors has a couple of parrots and he walks them outside. My 5-year-old asked if she could touch them and he said, "you don't ask people to touch their animals" haha she was traumatized and confused... "wait, dad you told me I'm supposed to ask to pet animals" She wanted it to turn out like your experience, but she wasn't so lucky

How dare your neighbor be so rude a 5 y/o. You should definitely teach her to respond to such adults with "you don't talk to children like that".

has anyone still not received a secondary from ICOM? They sent me an email saying they got my primary on 7/8 and I don't think I would have been screened out. I know they have been busy with their current incoming class but it's been almost a month so I'm slowly starting to panic and determining whether I should call the school?

Doesn't hurt to contact them.

My heart!! Such a good breed. My Brittany was so sweet and patient. She let me sleep on her and ride her like a pony when I was little.
Yes they are amazing!!! I want to get another one sometime after starting med school!

I would not be surprised if more secondaries come out soon, given that they are just getting things reined in after orientation of the new class.
 
It's like they sent out some secondaries and then got busy!

Glad I’m not the only one wondering why this is one of the last secondaries I’m still waiting on. I mean, assuming I didn’t get screened.

I know im late to the party but I thought I’d bless your morning with my cute pupper. I wish med schools looked at me the way she looks at milkbones :)

I would call them first thing on Monday! I had a similar issue that was fixed as soon as I made the phone call. They were very nice and it only took a few minutes-nothing to stress about.

Did they send you a secondary? They received my primary on 7/15. Waiting patiently, hoping it comes soon!

I believe they're just backed up at the moment. I submitted my primary on 5/28, they received it on 6/14, and I didn't get a secondary until 7/11. Seeing as how they haven't sent out any IIs yet, I would definitely say they are just overwhelmed. That is why we post adorable animal pictures, to occupy our time while we wait! Feel free to contribute your own photos, if you have any you would like to share! :)
