Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Firstly, I'd like to say this is a very nice group of people. I've received many messages both on and off list that are encouraging and very helpful. Thanks to all. I'm a member of a few other lists where things can get a tad touchy (groups re: horses not acupuncture :-) ). I am glad to hear that TCM is all about what you put into it. When I first posed my question about South Baylo's reputation, I was hoping to find out if a good foundation is provided by the school. Or is it available for the student who seeks it out? I think, as many have said, that studying at a California school will provide a pretty good education. If there was something glaringly amiss in their program, I was hoping to find out beforehand and not halfway through my program. I don't want to just be taught the lowest common denominator, as Mike said. If I felt that I was a substandard practitioner than I just would not do it. That would not be fair to those who came to me seeking help. Many thanks, Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Trish, Glad to be of service but just for clarification, I do not know if SBU provides a high quality education or not (I went to PCOM-SD). I know that SBU is a CA program (located in LA) and they graduate a lot of students but that their pass rates are not as good as I would like to see. It is for you to decide if you think that they provide the education that you seek and if you could learn enough to be a good practitioner. This is a process and one that requires asking a lot of questions as well as checking things out. My guess is that they do a good job. I think that I mentioned that a transfer student in our college's OM program was told that she could take certain western medical courses in the chiro program before she transferred and this simply is not true. The admin person who made this claim is also no longer here nor was any of this in writing. She is very disappointed with her OM education here as well as the cold weather (below zero). In her case, she has come to realize that a CA program like Emperor's would provide more of the things that she seeks. She recently made a trip to LA and to San Diego to check out several schools and made her choice. I am sure that the weather is also a guiding factor. Did you happen to check out any of the other schools there as well? Best of luck to you in this. Sincerely, Mike W.
