Our students spend their third and fourth years of medical
school in a clerkship within our nationally recognized
Centers for Osteopathic Research
and Education (CORE) system, one of the largest, most advanced,
and best supported osteopathic medical education consortiums in the
United States.
In our 27 Ohio teaching hospitals, our students explore primary care
and the full range of specialties in rural, suburban and urban
practice settings. During CORE rotations, students gain the clinical
skills to prosper in today’s rapidly changing medical practice
environment.
CORE clinical faculty and staff members are dedicated to meeting the
on-site needs of students. CORE assistant deans and administrators
work with our students to arrange required rotations at their base
CORE Hospitals and to schedule elective rotations at other CORE
hospitals. External rotations in fields or at sites of particular
interest can be arranged, both close to home and abroad.
Many students take advantage of the full continuum of medical
education offered by the CORE, including internships and residencies
in more than 90 programs available at various sites around the
state.
