Our students are integral members of a distinguished group of medical professionals committed to excellence in patient care and the well-being of our communities.

 
Our community of physicians, educators and mentors play an active role in the success of each student. This community also includes an alumni network of more than 2,600 osteopathic physicians and surgeons who are leaders in every field of medicine.

Our essential values and osteopathic principles and practices provide the foundation for the OU-HCOM experience. Throughout the medical school experience, we emphasize a whole person perspective in caring for patients. This holistic approach informs our case-based learning, anatomy and osteopathic manipulative treatment instruction, experiences with patients in clinical settings, and even faculty research.

We hope you will visit our campus to learn more about our medical school.

 
Clinical experiences begin within the first months of medical school. Our coursework provides the knowledge, skills and experiences necessary for confident interactions with patients and preceptors during third- and fourth-year clinical rotations.
   
Our curricular tracks emphasize evidence-based medicine, and we encourage students to pursue research.
   
Two curricular options address preferences in learning styles.
   
Our small class size and faculty-to-student ratio foster close collaborations among peers and instructors.
   
Our inclusive, diverse community and curricula rich in multicultural perspectives promote cultural competency and professionalism.
   
In clinical years, students benefit from unparalleled educational support through our statewide system of training hospitals, the Centers for Osteopathic Research and Education.
   
Our students enjoy the academic and cultural resources of Ohio’s first public university, Ohio University, and its beautiful Athens campus.
   
In July 2014, our first class of 50 students will begin classes at our central Ohio extension campus.
