The Office of Academic Affairs oversees the entire continuum of medical education at OU-HCOM from pre-doctoral through graduate medical education. Our office views your education as an organized building process that extends from your first day of medical school through residency training and beyond. The Office of Pre-Doctoral Education guides your educational experience through graduation from OU-HCOM. The Office of Graduate Medical Education supports your path through internship and residency, and on into practice. Your osteopathic medical education occurs on the Athens campus and throughout the Centers for Osteopathic Research and Education (CORE), a consortium of osteopathic teaching hospitals in Ohio.
