About the School

PCOM has expanded its tradition of excellence with the creation of a branch campus in Gwinnett County Georgia. Located just north of downtown Atlanta, the campus's curriculum, activities and academic calendar mirror that of the Philadelphia campus.

Curriculum

The primary patient care skills are complemented by our integrated approach to biomedical knowledge that introduces both basic and clinical sciences in your first two years. By learning these subjects in tandem, rather than one followed by the other, the abstraction of science becomes tangible by its application in practice. The study of anatomy and physiology, for example, is paired with learning the principles of physical examination and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM).

We use a variety of methods to present this information: problem-oriented cases, lectures, laboratory study, small group conferences, student-centered study and projects, medical informatics instruction and selected symposia. We provide plenty of opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers. Since medicine is practiced within a social context, the curriculum includes humanities-oriented programs, such as medical ethics, human sexuality, medical law and medical economics. Every doctor must address these topics, and we will teach them to broaden your understanding of changing attitudes and contemporary health care issues.

Facilities

The 20-acre campus, located at 625 Old Peachtree Road in Suwanee, includes the 150,000-square-foot Old Peachtree building which features large and small classrooms, conference areas and study spaces. The Old Peachtree building also houses research and multi-use basic science laboratories, an anatomy laboratory, a clinical learning and assessment center, three pharmacy practice labs and a large osteopathic manipulative medicine practice suite. <br/>
<br/>
A second campus building, the 21,000-square-foot Northlake building, houses offices for administrative personnel, admissions, marketing and communications, human resources and alumni relations.<br/>
<br/>
The campus is also home to the Georgia Osteopathic Care Center, an osteopathic manipulative medicine clinic, which is open to the public by appointment.
