Named as one of the nation`s top 50 medical schools for primary care medicine by U.S. News & World Report, TCOM is a leader in training physicians skilled in comprehensive primary care. Approximately 65 percent of TCOM`s graduates practice primary care medicine (family practice, general internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology), helping reduce the shortage of physicians in our Texas communities. Many others successfully practice in specialty careers as diverse as aerospace medicine and vascular medicine.
The D.O. program curriculum is a four-year program leading to the degree of doctor of osteopathic medicine. In the first two years, students are taught the basic sciences through an integrated systems approach. The second two years resemble clinical education programs that are available in medical schools throughout the United States. In both phases, emphasis is placed on identification and treatment of illnesses, the promotion of health and wellness in patients, and on the necessity of treating each patient in the context of a wide variety of factors that influence health.
Our health science center campus is a unique setting, bringing together our medical school with the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the School of Public Health. This setting fosters a milieu for collaboration and scientific investigation. The campus continues to grow, with the opening of our new Center for BioHealth. This center will provide for novel research into the diseases that have afflicted mankind for millennia. Leading research on our campus includes studies into the spread of tuberculosis; Alzheimer`s disease and aging; diabetes and metabolic disorders; public health issues; and many more. In addition, the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine has been awarded extramural funding to establish a national Osteopathic Research Center on our campus. This opportunity will allow us to play a pivotal role in coordinating national studies, as well as performing specific studies into the distinctive osteopathic philosophy of healthcare and prevention that has played an important part in American medicine for over 120 years. We are fortunate to have affiliated hospital partners that offer a state-of-the-art environment for clinical education. These leaders in 21 st century health care include John Peter Smith Hospital, Plaza Medical Center, Cook Children?s Medical Center, Harris Methodist Medical Center Fort Worth, Baylor All Saints Medical Center, Texas Tech University Hospital-Odessa, University of Texas Health Center-Tyler, to name a few.

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.
