When I was at a pod interview with a school in the Midwest, they seemed it was necessary to let me know that one of the other two schools associated with a DO school (Western U and AZPod) does not have their own college but is under the College of Health Sciences. As well they stated that they believed this same school took classes with PA students and how that looks bad and something about how not all core classes are with the DO students (I have not looked into this greatly). This is all that they were saying, in regards to a general questions of mine about "why them and not the other school with similar curriculums" (you know, just the normal question stuff) . This was my last interview of 6, FYI. After I got home I looked at my papers that both AZPod and Western U gave me, and saw that it was indeed AZPod that does not have its own College of Podiatric Medicine.
So the questions is, Why does AZPod not have its own college? Would they not have more autonomy and financial recourses if they had their own college?
This post is in no way to slander or speak ill of AZPod. I loved AZPod when I visited , and was my secondary choice of school. Nor is this post to be used to influence me on a school choice, as I have already put down my deposit for my first choice (which was not the Midwestern school) and past my deadline for AZPod. AZPod is an excellent school, they prove that with excellent board rates and residency placement!
