What will you study? Osteopathic Medicine Curriculum Overview
About Osteopathic Medicine and the Profession
Osteopathic Medicine is a distinctly American branch of medicine that pioneered the concepts of wellness and the whole-person approach to health when it was developed in the late 1800s. Currently, 10% of physicians in the United States are graduates of osteopathic medical schools and bring a philosophy that considers the mind-body-spirit connection to the evidence-based care of their patients. Through the lens of wellness, doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.s) help patients with a full range of medical treatment options, including surgery, pharmaceuticals, and manual medicine. As a physician or surgeon practicing osteopathic medicine, you bring a unique patient-centered approach to the full spectrum of health care.
Becoming a D.O. requires four years of medical school after obtaining a bachelor鈥檚 degree. The first two years 鈥 pre-clerkship years 鈥 focus on building a foundation of biomedical and medical knowledge and skills. During the second two years 鈥 clerkship years 鈥 you apply and expand your knowledge and skills in clinical settings. The course of studies leading to the D.O. degree must be completed within 6 years of matriculation (or within 150% of the standard time to obtain the degree).

Pre-Clerkship and Clerkship
The pre-clerkship curriculum occurs on campus where the fundamental knowledge of anatomy, manual medicine, clinical skills, and medical sciences are taught primarily in small group, team-based, and simulation settings.
Clerkship training takes place at one of our clinical campuses throughout the Northeast. Students spend time on various specialty services at clinics and hospitals, gaining firsthand experience providing medical care in different settings. During your fourth-year, you participate in the Match or one of the other post-graduate training assignment programs, which 鈥 depending on your specialty 鈥 take an additional three to seven years to complete.

Courses
色香视频鈥檚 integrated interdisciplinary curriculum is delivered over the first two (2) years through concurrent semester-long longitudinal courses titled Osteopathic Medical Knowledge (OMK) and Osteopathic Clinical Skills (OCS). The courses run in parallel within common clinical frameworks with frequent integration between the courses.
The student is required to complete eighty-two (82) weeks of clinical training in years three (3) and four (4) (typically forty-two (42) to forty-eight (48) weeks are done in the third year). 色香视频 COM defines three (3) categories of clinical requirements:
Core 鈥 Fourty-Two (42) Weeks
Required Discipline 鈥 The student is assigned by the 色香视频 COM Department of Clinical Education途 Core rotations are typically referred to as 鈥渃lerkships.鈥 There are six (6) weeks each of Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Ob-Gyn, Psychiatry, and Surgery, and twelve (12) weeks of Internal Medicine.
Selective 鈥 Sixteen (16) Weeks
Required Discipline 鈥 Site selected by the student, subject to approval by the Department of Clinical Education. There are four (4) weeks each of Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine.

Discipline and site selected by the student, subject to approval by the department.
Elective Rotation Requirements
Sufficient quantity to meet graduation requirements.
Family Medicine
Core Family Medicine is a hospital and/or ambulatory experience that enhances the student鈥檚 understanding of patient and family dynamics in illness and health, the physician/patient relationship, and the careful and economical use of medical therapeutics, technological and laboratory investigation, and hospitalization. Special attention is given to the patient interview, directed physical examination, and patient education.
Internal Medicine
Core Internal Medicine is twelve (12) weeks (general or mix of general plus subspecialty) and may complete one (1) or more additional rotations in Internal Medicine subspecialties, typically in a hospital setting. Applying principles learned in the preclinical years, and working within a multidisciplinary team, the student learns to formulate a differential diagnosis based on the history and physical, prioritize a problem list, identify appropriate diagnostic tests, develop a treatment plan, and present patients to supervising physicians and in team meetings. Further developing and refining the ability to communicate effectively with patients and members of the treatment team is of critical importance.
Obstetrics and Gynecology
Core Obstetrics and Gynecology is intended to provide practical clinical exposure in the diagnosis and management of the female patient with normal and pathologic obstetric and gynecologic processes. Gynecologic procedures, surgery, labor and delivery, fetal evaluation and monitoring, pre-operative evaluations, and post-operative care are emphasized.
Pediatrics
Core Pediatrics places an emphasis on primary care of the newborn to the adolescent. In hospital and/or ambulatory settings, the student gains a greater understanding of the continuum of child development, including physical, social, and emotional aspects, as well as the role of family dynamics. The student develops communication skills with both the pediatric patient and the family and, as appropriate, refines their skill at educating the child, parents, and other caregivers in health promotion.
Psychiatry
Core Psychiatry encourages the student to recognize, screen for, and assess key symptoms of common mental illnesses, using the mental status examination as the basis for differential diagnosis and therapy. Additional content areas include cognitive, psychomotor, and affective development, risk assessment, substance abuse issues, and the impact of mental illness on patients and families.
Surgery
Core General Surgery and one (1) selective in General Surgery or a surgical subspecialty must be completed by each student. This clerkship is an introduction to the principles and practice of surgery. The student will experience the totality of care from the patient鈥檚 pre-surgical visit through the surgical encounter and post-operative recovery.
Emergency Medicine
Emergency Medicine selective represents where knowledge and skills gained by the student in Core rotations come together in the fast-paced emergency department. In conjunction with Emergency Department personnel, the student will evaluate and treat patients of all ages who are experiencing medical, surgical, or psychiatric emergencies.
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine focuses on osteopathic philosophy and principles, which are intrinsic to the entire curriculum and are incorporated throughout the clinical portion of the student鈥檚 education. In the fourth year, the student completes a total of four (4) weeks of osteopathic manipulative medicine to gain in-depth experience by working with a practitioner who is well versed in these principles and utilizes them in the clinical care environment.
Graduation Requirements
The Board of Trustees of the 色香视频confers the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree upon those students who have satisfactorily completed the requirements for graduation and who have been recommended for graduation by the faculty of the College.

An Alternative Approach to Clinical Rotations
色香视频 COM is one of fewer than 30% of medical schools to offer a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) 鈥 an alternative way of organizing the third-year clinical experience that is modeled after residency programs. Rather than rotating through six-week blocks focusing on a single discipline, you will be embedded within a primary care clinic where you will follow your own patients for the year while experiencing specialty-focused time on the days when you are not assigned to a clinic. The LIC applies the residency training model to third-year clerkships. Students who participate in LICs:
- Earn equal or greater clinical skills and exam scores
- Build professional relationships with colleagues and patients
- Are placed at one of six host sites in Maine

Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine FAQ
What is osteopathic medicine?
Osteopathic Medicine is a distinct American branch of evidence-based, mainstream medicine that stresses promoting health as much as reacting to disease. As a physician or surgeon practicing osteopathic medicine, you bring a unique patient-centered approach to the full spectrum of health care. Through the lens of wellness, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.s) help patients with a full range of medical treatment options, including surgery, pharmaceuticals, and manual medicine.
Osteopathic medicine is a hands-on approach to diagnosis and treatment. In addition to the standard medical school curriculum, D.O.s receive extensive training in the neuromusculoskeletal system and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), a form of manual medicine treatment. Osteopathic principles and practices are a comprehensive approach to health care in which D.O.s apply the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and an osteopathic philosophy during the diagnosis and management of patients.
Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is a form of treatment taught to student doctors studying osteopathic medicine. OMM is a comprehensive approach to health care in which D.O.s apply the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and an osteopathic philosophy during the diagnosis and management of patients.
As a medical student at the University of New England鈥檚 College of Osteopathic Medicine in Biddeford, Maine, you will learn about OMM treatment techniques in addition to the standard medical education curriculum.
Currently 10% of physicians in the United States are graduates of osteopathic medical schools and bring a philosophy that considers the mind-body-spirit connection to the evidence-based care of their patients.
What is a doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.)?
Doctors of Osteopathic (D.O.) Medicine are physicians or medical specialists who know that health is interconnected with all aspects of a person鈥檚 life and are trained to see patient care as the synthesis of a philosophy focused on the interconnectedness of the whole person with a deep knowledge of anatomy and the basic sciences. As a D.O., you are trained in medical school to consider the big picture when treating patients. Osteopathy emphasizes the goal to support a patient鈥檚 overall health as well as address acute symptoms.
While in osteopathic medical school, student doctors receive specialized training in the musculoskeletal system and treatment. 色香视频鈥檚 medical school in Maine has the mission to advance exceptional osteopathic healthcare locally and globally through practice, research, scholarship, education, and community health. Through this mission, 色香视频 D.O. students learn how to see the body as an integrated unit of systems that work together to heal and maintain health. Osteopathic medical doctors recognize that the whole body鈥檚 structure should be optimized to facilitate its ability to self-regulate.
What is the difference between an M.D. vs. D.O.?
Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) and Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) can practice in the same specialties and train in the same residency programs. The difference is the framework in which D.O.s approach patients and view healthcare. D.O.s are taught to recognize the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection to wellness. Osteopathic doctors look beyond symptoms to other factors which may impact a person鈥檚 health. The combination of a philosophy focused on wellness and rigorous training in science and medicine enables D.O.s to truly partner with their patients in the healthcare process.
Although D.O. and M.D. students receive similar curricular content in medical school, student doctors of osteopathic medicine receive that content through the lens of wellness and the mind-body connection. D.O. students also receive specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of the neuromusculoskeletal system using osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). Since D.O.s are trained to see the body as an integrated unit of systems that work together to heal and maintain health, they recognize that the whole body鈥檚 structure should be optimized to facilitate its ability to self-regulate.
Physical examination and palpation are more heavily emphasized in the D.O. curriculum. On average, 色香视频 medical students and other D.O. schools spend more time practicing hands-on physical examination skills than M.D. students. D.O. students also learn OMM treatment options to address pain and other issues.
Both D.O. and M.D. schools have the same level of rigor and length of schooling: generally two years of classroom training followed by two years of clinical training. Upon graduating with your medical degree, both Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine and Doctors of Medicine will go on to specialty training in residency and fellowships in the same programs.
What are medical school requirements?
Medical school applicants should demonstrate the motivation, discipline, and altruism to pursue a career as a physician. This includes successful completion of a comprehensive undergraduate education and appropriate experiences that can be translated to the medical profession.
Every medical school has slightly different requirements. It鈥檚 a good idea to review the admissions requirements of the specific medical school program that interests you. If you are applying to an M.D. program, most schools require you to apply through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS). If you are applying to a D.O. program, most schools require you to apply through the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOMAS).
The 色香视频College of Osteopathic Medicine (色香视频 COM) in Maine participates in the AACOMAS centralized application service. All applicants are required to apply online through this service. At 色香视频 COM, it鈥檚 required that you have completed 90 semester hours or 75% credit progress towards a bachelor鈥檚 degree, to be earned at a U.S. regionally accredited college or university, or international equivalent, at the time of application.
Although not required, it is helpful to have done some study in the biological sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, or other health sciences. At 色香视频 COM, there are some prerequisite coursework requirements that should be reviewed during your application.
During your medical school application process, many schools will also require you to submit your GPA. As calculated by AACOMAS, the minimum cumulative GPA is 2.8 at the time of application. Additionally, the completion of the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is required. Although 色香视频鈥檚 medical school does not have a minimum score requirement, highly competitive applicants typically score in the 50th percentile or higher on the MCAT.

At 色香视频鈥檚 osteopathic medical school, applications for admission are reviewed holistically by the 色香视频 COM Committee on Admissions based on fit for the Mission, Vision, and Core Values of 色香视频 COM and a combination of GPA, academic record, MCAT scores, applicant interview, and lived experiences.
What is the best osteopathic medical school for me?
