Trustees approve name change to OU-HCOM
The Ohio University Board of Trustees officially changed the name of the
Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine to the Ohio University Heritage
College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM) on Friday.
The name change recognizes the historic, transformative $105 million gift
to the medical school from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations announced in
April.
The Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine becomes the fourth named
college at Ohio University, joining the Russ College of Engineering, the Scripps
College of Communication, and the Patton College of Education.

When it comes time for you to order new stationary or business cards, please
order as you normally would through University Print Resources. Please remember
to change voice mail messages and e-mail signatures to reflect the new name.
The OU-HCOM Office of Communications will be working on an
institution-wide visual branding/identity program, including the redesign of our
“logo,” college seal, and identities for our centers, institutes and programs,
among many other pieces. Additional information about the name change will be
announced.

communication, at

RD RAP program graduates second class
The CORE’s Residency Directors’ Residency Administration Program (RD RAP)
graduated its second class on June 18, after a two-day session that focused on
leadership, administration and professional development.
The year-long fellowship certificate program is designed to provide Ohio
residency directors with the opportunity to strengthen their knowledge and
skills to be effective and successful leaders of their programs and trainees.
The first year of the RD RAP was funded by grants from the CORE New
Initiative Fund and Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital Foundation. Year two was
funded solely by the CORE New Initiative Fund.
The participants in the second class represented four CORE hospitals and
programs including family medicine, emergency medicine, orthopedic surgery,
otorhinolarygology and podiatry. To read more, go to

You show the degree you care by the ACTIONS you take. Pick one of the
above and put it into ACTION!
