University of Osteopathic Medicine

The University of Osteopathic Medicine is an educational institution that trains future doctors known as osteopathic physicians or DOs. These physicians are fully licensed medical professionals who, like MDs, diagnose and treat illnesses. However, osteopathic medicine emphasizes a holistic approach, considering the person's body, mind, and lifestyle in healthcare. DOs also receive specialized training in hands-on techniques called osteopathic manipulative treatment, used to improve health and mobility. The university provides comprehensive medical education aimed at preparing students to serve diverse communities with a focus on wellness, prevention, and personalized care.
