The Illinois College of Osteopathic Medicine (IllinoisCOM) at The Chicago School is a newly established medical institution in Chicago, Illinois, dedicated to training osteopathic physicians with a holistic approach to healthcare. In May 2025, IllinoisCOM received pre-accreditation from the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA), enabling it to begin recruiting students for its inaugural class set to commence in Fall 2026. Once fully operational, the college aims to graduate 170 osteopathic physicians annually, addressing the nation's physician shortage and contributing to the healthcare workforce.
IllinoisCOM's Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program emphasizes the integration of mental and physical health, reflecting The Chicago School's commitment to comprehensive, patient-centered care. The curriculum includes the innovative Mind and Medicine course series, developed in collaboration with psychology faculty, focusing on behavioral influences on chronic illnesses, mental health screening in primary care, and strategies for managing complex cases involving psychosocial factors. Students are also required to complete at least two clinical rotations focused on mental and behavioral health, ensuring they are well-prepared to address a full spectrum of integrated health conditions.
The college is constructing a state-of-the-art campus in Chicago's West Loop, transforming the former Tyson Foods headquarters into a 247,000-square-foot educational hub. The facility will feature lecture halls, classrooms, laboratories, and collaborative learning spaces equipped with the latest medical and educational technology, including high-fidelity patient simulators and virtual reality tools. This modern campus is designed to support a community of approximately 1,800 students, faculty, and staff, fostering an environment conducive to advanced medical education and research.
