School Info

Our two innovative curricula are structured to provide a seamless medical education experience through all phases of your training and offer early clinical experiences in the first two years in area doctor's offices, hospitals and through our Community Service Programs' free clinic. Through our research efforts, OU-COM researchers have made major drug discoveries, including invention of the first drug that effectively treats excess growth hormone production acromegaly and a new class of antibiotics. Innovative new drugs targeting diabetes are currently in development. Our commitment to diversity places OU-COM first at Ohio University. Last year, 25 percent of our incoming class was comprised of minority students. We are very proud of what we have to offer and hope that you will consider the opportunities open to you here at OU-COM.

Curriculum

The learning environment at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-COM) is constructed based on the principles of adult learning which include student empowerment and clinical relevance. Students enrolled in OU-COM study in one of two tracks the Patient-Centered Continuum (PCC) curriculum or the Clinical Presentation Continuum (CPC) curriculum. Both curricula view your medical education as an organized building process that extends from the first day of medical school through residency training and beyond. Students in both curricula begin interacting with real patients in the first weeks of their medical education. After two years on the Athens campus, OU-COM students are assigned to a hospital in our Centers for Osteopathic Research and Education (CORE) system to complete training during their third and fourth years in a clinical environment. This assignment is accomplished by means of a lottery that is conducted in the fall of the student's second year.

Facilities

University Medical Associates clinics, 12 affiliated teaching hospitals, the Learning Resource Center and Student Affairs complex, as well as teleconferencing rooms, technology labs and other facilities, enhance students' ability to be successful.

0 = Terrible, 10 = World Class

What do you like most?

"Very supportive faculty, guided learning, clinical rotations in top ranked hospitals (depending on preclinical campus)" | Report Response

"The student body has a strong relationship together, and at the end of the day I can be confident that my career will be in a solid place after graduation. OU's alumni network and faculty connections, just from it's age and strength of program, makes it a recognized program in all of my rotations and outside interactions with actual doctors. There's a lot of diversity here as well, and everybody can find a group that they can bond and become close with. This includes diversity of faculty, and it feels like there truly is a faculty member who would be a great mentor for every individual student. Plus, personally I love the campus - tons of study spaces, and provided pandemic passage, a new building that I'm hype for." | Report Response

"Very little, but I guess a few professors shine. And we at the Cleveland Campus get to go to the Cleveland Clinic for rotations." | Report Response

"Curriculum + Board Prep" | Report Response

What do you like least?

"Mandatory lectures, clinical rotations in small, outpatient settings (depending on preclinical campus)" | Report Response

"OU's faculty are very forward minded, and sometimes the executions of new educational initiatives is a little ambitious (the initial transition to flipped classroom learning took a few weeks for the faculty themselves to even all understand, and we had some slow lectures). But knowing that the faculty is always making efforts makes us know that any real concerns will be resolved. Speaking for the elephant in the room if you are reading these reviews, other posters had real concerns. I can only speak for myself, but every time a concern was brought to faculty there was an eventual solution provided in my view. Whether those solutions pleased everybody, you can say no, but in terms of providing a space for continuous, flexible dialogue, many were still satisfied in faculty being able to admit mistakes and change programs." | Report Response

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
