Osteopathic medicine takes an especially patient-centered approach to medicine, making it a rewarding approach to a medical career, especially for those wanting to become a primary care physician.
Osteopathic medicine emphasizes a holistic approach to health. It starts with the patient and emphasizes the benefits of hands-on diagnosis and treatment, focusing on health promotion and disease prevention.
In our pre-osteopathic medicine 程序, you’ll be advised by the Pre-健康 Professions advisor and a Pre-健康 Professions Advisory Committee, which offers information on colleges and careers, admissions requirements, opportunities to conduct undergraduate research and assistance in identifying job shadowing and volunteer opportunities.
Through a partnership with Maryville University, pre-osteopathic medicine majors have the option to attend medical school at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM), the largest medical school in the country.
