Become a Better Kind of Caregiver

When you’re a doctor trained in the osteopathic method, you take a different approach to healing. You possess a complete medical education, but with an added layer of instruction and inquiry that equips you to treat the whole person. This philosophy lives through our collaborative culture, and it’s what will prepare you to lead the next generation of health care professionals.

CARE LEADS HERE

We put patients at the center of care, and we put you at the center of learning. Our innovative curriculum emphasizes small-group learning, integrated active-learning labs, and clinical and community experiences early on.
