Medical Training with Care at the Heart
The Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine attracts students who want to make a difference in their communities and have a passion for service. That’s why, starting in the first year, we provide opportunities for you to gain hands-on clinical experience that will give you a broad perspective on health, disease and health care delivery. You will be trained to have a meaningful impact as a physician leader in the communities you serve.
Not only is the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine the state’s largest medical school, the caring atmosphere we create and our focus on your success sets us apart from other programs. What you’ll find here is a clinically integrated, learning-centered, osteopathic medical education that trains future primary care physicians and specialists to treat the whole patient.
