Academics
4-year. Divided into basic and clinical sciences, and
emphasizes primary care. The program uses a coordinated, spiraling systems approach in which subject
matter is continuously reintroduced in greater depth
and complexity. First year: Concentrates on the basic
sciences and preliminary clinical concepts. Preparation of the student for early patient contact requires a
foundation in anatomy, physiology, behavioral science, techniques of physical examination, diagnosis
and patient interview, and recognition of normal and
abnormal patterns of physical conditions and disease.
Second year: Emphasizes the interdisciplinary study
of the structure and function of body systems. In
addition, students are introduced to specialized clinical care and medical procedures related to each body
system and receive continuing instruction in osteopathic principles and practices. Third and fourth
years: Devoted exclusively to clinical rotations,
where students work with patients under physicianfaculty supervision. Students rotate through basic
hospital services, including general medicine,
surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, internal
medicine, and emergency medicine. Other clinical
training occurs at a small rural hospital, a primary
care clinic, a psychiatric facility, a community health
facility, and offices of private physicians. The curriculum is based on the semester system, with summers off, except the last year and one half, which is
continuous.
