Here are a few more non-mandatory schools:
MUCOM
Western (I believe both)
Touro-NV
LMU
KCU

not sure of the others

 

[popopopop]

TCOM's core lectures aren't mandatory, but we have mandatory flipped classroom stuff.

 

[AD17]

CCOM

 

[Mr. Babe]

A.T. Still records everything so you can watch lectures at home if you want

 

[sharpstickie]

RVUCOM
Only labs are required, or lectures that have a quiz (well if you want to pass the quiz)

 

[BurntFlower]

UNE is now mandatory

Why did UNECOM make classes mandatory?

 

[IslandStyle808]

Why did UNECOM make classes mandatory?

From what has been stated by a few UNE students, it was mainly due to a lot of students not showing up to class. It rustled the jimmies of many of the professors their. Thus the policy was changed as a results.

The professors there need to do some reading on what works in medical education. Lectures aren't on the list anymore.

OU-HCOM

 

[Blanky]

I heard NSUCOM is "mandatory" but not enforced.

Definitely not enforced, but I don't even think it's mandatory. I have several friends who are current students, and almost none of them regularly attend lecture.

 

[summergirl]

MSUCOM

 

[pericardium]

Touro California

 

[Marrowist]

Oklahoma State University COM is not mandatory.

Can anyone confirm/deny NYIT?

 

[navigator]

TCOM's core lectures aren't mandatory, but we have mandatory flipped classroom stuff.

MLMs are being recorded now and no longer mandatory to attend

Omg, you're right. It states mandatory, but it's recorded and have no grades associated with it!

 

[hayisferhorses]

What about VCOM-CC? Does anyone know about their lecture policies?

 

[Shotapp]

I believe the VCOMs are mandatory attendance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[JibsGuy52]

TouroCOM NY. Flipped classroom. Online lectures, class is clicker questions to solidify material (if you want to go). Note: clickers are worth 10% so it's "mandatory"

 

[mfrey28]

Pretty sure lectures aren't mandatory at AZCOM

 

[Veggie_Girl]

At DMU around half of our classes this first semester have required attendance, but a lot of the core classes (biochem, anatomy, ect) are not mandatory except for labs of course

 

[Dr. Anonymouss]

I wanted to bring this thread back to life to see what schools may have made changes in the past 2 years. I know KCU has undergone curriculum changes, but is it still non-mandatory? I hated to hear that OH-COM now has mandatory lectures and LECOM does not have mandatory lectures unless you are in the Lecture discussion pathway. The directed studies pathway and problem based pathway do not have lectures. This is not counting the first semester in which anatomy is learned. That is indeed required attendance.

PCOM (only philly - confirmed)
LECOM (DSP and PBL Confirmed)
KCOM (after first semester -confirmed)
NYIT-NY
SOMA
DMU (confirmed)
NYIT
NSU
PNWU
Rowan (Confirmed)
WVSOM
MUCOM
Western (I believe both)
Touro-NV
LMU
KCU (confirmed)
CCOM (confirmed)
RVU
AT Still
TCOM
LUCOM - confirmed
BCOM - confirmed

Are these all up to date or are there others to add/delete???

Can confirm that DMU and RVU are not required

 

[Dr. Anonymouss]

Can confirm that DMU and RVU are not required

Thanks, I’ll update the list as confirmations are made.

 

[Blanky]

DMU has a decent amount of required

 

[Cornfed101]

DMU has a decent amount of required

I think every school requires labs, small groups, and anything clinical. This list is more for strictly lectures

 

[Blanky]

Biochem, anatomy, cell bio and clin med are optional, and physicianship and bioethics and OMM lecture are required. That’s not counting clin med lab, OMM lab, cadaver lab and small groups.

Just lecture that’s 4 optional vs 3 required

Hmm they lied at the interview haha...

 

[MaximusD]

I hear it is completely optional at LECOM.*

























*completely false

What do you mean? please elaborate

 

[fldoctorgirl]

KCU is still no attendance, with the exception of bioethics and a select few OMM lectures. Plus, obviously, labs.

 

[kuzy]

M1 at CCOM here. Pretty much anything besides anatomy lab and OMM are not mandatory, but most classes will give extra credit pop quizzes so a lot of people will go for that. There's also always random mandatory stuff on campus each week so you kind of have to be there 9-5 most days anyway (ie foundations of osteopathic clinical practice the first 2 weeks of school, interprofessional studies, biochem workshops, and a bunch of quizzes/tests each week)

 

[deleted1005514]

LUCOM: PCM, OMM, Ethics, TBLs and labs are required. Everything else is not required.

 

[greenvsblack3]

first year at BCOM here — our main science classes are not mandatory. Labs are and our principals of clinical medicine lecture Are mandatory (the class where we learn doctor stuff basically). We have an occasional TBL activity in our science classes course which is mandatory. Most science lectures are recorded and posted so people can watch later as well.

 

[Tgfu34]

OMS-I at KYCOM. Attendance is mandatory for the first semester but not after that. I’m super jealous of non-mandatory classes and am counting down the days until I don’t have to sit in lecture.

 

[getfat]

PCOM satellite campuses (South GA and GA) have mandatory attendance for clarification. Unlike PCOM-Philly

 

[hungrydoc710]

I go to a school with mandatory attendance (80%), but they take a class pic once or twice a week...
I rarely go to class and don't get in trouble
