About the School
The University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNECOM) is dedicated to the improvement of life through the education of osteopathic physicians, research and service. The College emphasizes health, healing and primary care for the people of New England and the nation.
Curriculum
The UNECOM curriculum focuses on three areas of excellence: primary care, osteopathic principles and practices, and geriatrics. The approach is one of progressive acquisition of knowledge, attitude and skills throughout the four years. The modified systems-based curriculum begins with a focus on developing a solid preparation in the basic sciences and an exposure to the physician-patient relationship through early clinical experiences. A cadre of practicing clinicians and basic scientists, who bring the real world into the classroom, teach the systems based modules of the second year curriculum. Clinical skills are enhanced from the beginning with community placements and practice with simulated patients.
Facilities
The Harold Alfond Center for Health Sciences provides a significant focus for the University. Located at the center of campus, this three-story building houses numerous laboratories and lecture halls, many used by the College of Osteopathic Medicine. This Center brings the University to the national forefront of health and life sciences education. Its gross anatomy lab is used by medical and health professions students, and its fresh tissue laboratory is one of the most advanced facilities in the world. The Sanford F. Petts University Health Center is the base clinical facility for University Health Care. At that location clinical faculty and staff provide expanded health and preventive care services to the University`s students, faculty, staff, and their dependents, as well as the community at large. It is a focal point for collaboration among the different health care disciplines at the University, including osteopathic medicine, nursing, social work, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and the physician assistant program.

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.
