Hi everyone,

I am a student of OM currently studying at Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine. I love the program, but have been giving some thought to returning to the upper Midwest lately for reasons not specific to education. This would mean that I would transfer to Midwest College of Oriental Medicine, most likely the Chicago branch. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this, the quality of MCOM and the like. Has (or is) anyone gone there? Is it comparable to the type of education one gets at SIOM or other West Coast schools? What about Pacific College in Chicago?

One thing I definitely like about MCOM is the dual degree MSOM and BS in nutrition. How much value does a BS in Nutrition from a nationally-accredited school have? Is this something that would be helpful in getting a job at a hospital or other institution?

Any insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt.
