“A Time of Transition for Many”

Summer days in Athens certainly bring about an exciting time of transition for many OU-COM students.     

As  OU-COM’s third year students finish their coursework in Athens and eagerly gear up to begin their clinical training at CORE Hospitals across Ohio, the incoming members of the Class of 2012 are preparing to embark upon the first steps of their medical school careers—Orientation and Clinical Anatomy Immersion.

The Class of 2012 Orientation will commence on July 28 with the Picnic at Dairy Lane.   This picnic marks the beginning of a four year journey for these first year students.  The picnic is followed by a week of Orientation, with sessions ranging from Valuing Diversity to Honor Code Discussion to Tablet Training.  Without a doubt this is an exciting time for both the students and the OU-COM community as we welcome this extraordinarily gifted class.   The week closes with the first Gross Anatomy and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine labs.
