Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Over 100 years of academic excellence F
ounded in 1899, Philadelphia College of Osteo- pathic Medicine is one of the nation’s most respected osteopathic medical schools. The
College welcomes students who bring unique skills and experiences to contribute to our community of learning. Through rigorous academic programs and with the help of esteemed faculty, our students learn to ask the right questions, listen for answers, and solve problems using their hands and minds. PCOM students learn a whole-person approach to medicine that emphasizes total wellness—in body, mind, and spirit.
Why osteopathic medicine? Integral to all programs and campuses is the Col- lege’s osteopathic practice of medicine—a whole- person approach to treating patients, not just address- ing symptoms. Although PCOM is focused solidly on teaching,
research and community outreach are also important components of the institution’s mission. The College houses a Center for Chronic Disorders of Aging, devel- oping collaborative research and encouraging stu- dents to actively engage in research opportunities. We also have affiliated Healthcare Centers that serve the medical needs of urban and rural Pennsylvanians.

How our students define us What is the PCOM difference? When asked, students describe a tight-knit and collaborative community. Our campuses are recognized for their spirits of col- legiality and camaraderie rather than competitive- ness. The warm environment inspires a sense of community and works to advance academic and personal growth as well as professional and career development. PCOM students are encouraged to participate in
community service and extracurricular activities. More than 60 chapter and national organizations, academic interest groups, athletic teams, charitable groups, and clubs offer social activities and leadership opportu- nities. Those who embrace the College’s osteopathic philosophy are often drawn to service and actively participate in blood drives, fundraising events, medical mission trips, and free health screenings throughout the community.
