AOA OPTI on-site inspection scheduled for this week
OU-COM and CORE will host a team of distinguished guests on campus
Wednesday, June 8, and Thursday, June 9. This is an extremely important
visit by American Osteopathic Association inspectors who will be conducting
an on-site visit in regard to the renewed accreditation for the CORE.
CORE Executive Director Harvey Schwartz asks all faculty, staff and students
to keep work areas looking neat and to recognize how critical their visit is
to both OU-COM and the CORE’s reputation and success. AOA inspectors will be
meeting with a variety of OU-COM and CORE staff during the two day visit in
person and via videoconference. Questions about the inspection can be made
to Schwartz at his Columbus office at 614-544-1793, his Athens office at
597-3155, or via email at
schwarth@ohio.edu.
College name change information
As announced with the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation’s
transformational gift to the college, in recognition of our major
benefactor, the college’s name is slated to change to the
Ohio University Heritage College of
Osteopathic Medicine. The name will only officially change after the
Ohio University Board of Trustees vote on the issue during their Thursday,
June 23, and Friday, June 24, meetings in Athens. Until that time, we are
still the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-COM).
Please continue to use your stationary and other OU-COM promotional
items. When it comes time for you to order new stationary, please order as

The OU-COM office of communications will be working on an
institution-wide visual branding/identity program, including the redesign of
our “logo,” college seal, identities for our centers, institutes and
programs, among many other pieces.

communication, at

OU-COM sends new graduates onto residencies, internships
Of the 108 new osteopathic physicians who graduated on Saturday, June
4, 61s selected mentors, 21 of whom were alumni that OU-COM welcomed back to
campus. Approximately 63 percent of the graduates will continue their
postdoctoral education in Ohio, and 40 percent will enter residency programs
in one of the CORE hospitals.
“We take great pride in all of our graduates,” Brose said. “Each new
OU-COM graduate physician and surgeon will take with her or him the respect,
integrity, and compassion that is the heart of osteopathic medical training.
Wherever they train, we will be forever proud that they are osteopathic
physicians and that they represent the College of Osteopathic Medicine and
Ohio University.”
