Medical Education
Medical Education
Osteopathic medicine is more than a model. It's our mindset.
The Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine offers a traditional 4-year undergraduate D.O. medical degree, as well as four other dual-degree medical programs. The dual-degree programs allow students to pursue their medical education while also incorporating other interest areas.
Our educational offerings are complemented by pre-medical and summer programs for students getting ready for medical school, followed by robust residency options and opportunities for continuing medical education after they graduate.
