Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine
2008-02-23 17:59:00 Ya know,With all this talk of foreign schools, I've seemed to have neglected my Alma mater - OUCOM. I loved OU!

But, I feel like I'm not doing my old stomping grounds justice.OU is located in Athens, which is about 70 miles Southeast of Columbus. You attend classes your first two years on the main campus of Ohio University. The next two years are spent at one of 12 CORE hospitals around the state. During your fourth year you can do electives at select hospitals of your choice. I felt like OUCOM prepared me well for residency. Also, we had many graduates getting many excellent residencies at allopathic and osteopathic institutions alike. You have access to many of Ohio University's facilities - libraries, rec centers, ice skating rinks, etc.Surprisingly, there is stuff to do there. If you love the outdoors, this is the place to be. There are many state and national parks nearby where ...

Through his investigations and study, he found that the body is a system of inter-related organs and incorporated this philosophy as the foundation of osteopathy today.

We believe that when then body is misaligned and "somatic dysfunction" is present, the body doesn't function optimally and vice versa. D.O.'s are fully licensed physicians and surgeons and are represented in near... |
