I'm kind of curious how people view their OMM courses. I know most people here have a strong dislike of OMM, but leaving that aside, do you think that the material on its own is difficult?
I'm asking because I just finished my first year and my OMM course was definitely the hardest course of the year and was the only course I legitimately thought I had a chance of failing. Both the practicals and the written exams were brutal for me, much harder than any of the other material. I think a part of this was because all the other courses had external resources you could use to study for them (Boards and Beyond, Pathoma, Anki premade decks, etc.), but OMM was basically my school's (terrible) lectures and that's it. Even COMLEX board prep OMM questions were much simpler than the questions I got asked by my school's OMM faculty on written exams.
Of course, I knew before enrolling at a DO school that I'd be forced to learn OMM. But I've always heard that OMM is simple and won't be that much of a hassle, and that could not have been further from the truth for me... Anyone else had a similar experience? Or was OMM easy for you?
