About the School
The mission of Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine is to provide men and women with an osteopathic medical education that emphasizes primary care, encourages research, promotes lifelong scholarly activity, and produces graduates who are committed to serving the health care needs of communities in Eastern Kentucky and other Appalachian regions.
Curriculum
The first two years of training at PCSOM takes place mostly in the lab and lecture hall, covering the typical medical school disciplines, plus our special topics. Friday afternoons are spent in doctor`s offices, learning to take patient histories and doing physical exams. During the summer of their second year the students take two major full time courses: medicine and surgery. These are intensive courses which will prepare the student to interact fully at the bedside or in an ambulatory care setting during the final two years of their medical school education. The last two years of PCSOM`s program are the clinical clerkships.
Facilities
The student will rotate and work in various settings including: Family Practice, Appalachian Primary Care, Rural Clinic, ER, General Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics OB-GYN, Psychiatry and Osteopathic Practice. The student will spend from one to four months at each of these sites depending on PCSOM`s requirements and the student`s level of interest. At least 90% of this clinical training will be completed in the Appalachian region.

Why no Tier Rankings?
Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
