| In
addition to the Student Government Association, OU-HCOM students are
given a voice through the Council of Osteopathic Student Government
Presidents (COSGP). This governing body unites student leaders from each of the 28
schools of
osteopathic medicine to handle issues of concern to ALL medical students. The osteopathic medical school family has been growing
significantly. Below is a map of the locations of each school.
Part of the COSGP
mission is to encourage medical students to continue one of the
basic tenets of the osteopathic philosophy: a commitment to
improving the health of our communities through service. To that
end, the
TOUCH
(Translating Osteopathic Understanding into Community
Health) initiative recognizes this commitment of both our students
and schools on local and national levels. TOUCH is essentially
volunteerism. Each student who earns fifty hours or more of TOUCH
services receives a TOUCH pin, and schools are recognized for their
achievements at the COSGP conventions.
