This course will bolster and enrich students’ knowledge in the foundational sciences that are essential to success at the COM. The course combines three elements/approaches: 1) Select set of required prerecorded lectures in the main topics of biochemistry/genetics, histology, anatomy, microbiology/immunology, pathology and pharmacology; 2) Team-based case-based learning sessions termed clinical inquiry that will support the foundational material with medical cases that will run parallel to the prerecorded lectures. This combines elements of integration and application of the information in a clinical approach, peer instruction, and feedback; 3) Study plan and weekly reflection. |

| COM 510 | Medical Gross Anatomy | 5.0 | College of Osteopathic Med |
|
The Medical Gross Anatomy Course (hereafter, ‘Anatomy’) will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the gross anatomy of the human body. Students will encounter and master the form and makeup of all regions of the body, including skeletal, muscular, neural, vascular, and organ systems. Students will learn the interaction and interrelationships among these systems. Students will learn general embryology of the body and most major organ systems of the body. Throughout this course, students will become familiar with basic radiological imaging modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI) and use these imaging modalities to interpret normal human anatomy. Although this course does not cover specific pathological anatomy, students will be led through a variety of clinical correlates and case studies that demonstrate normal form and function of the body so that students can recognize how abnormal functions may present in a clinical setting. This course takes a regional approach to the study of anatomy. This approach emphasizes anatomy not as a series of discrete facts, but as the interrelationship of multiple structures and systems. The course is designed to cover human clinical anatomy to the level of detail required by first-year medical students, consistent with recommendations and guidance published by the American Association of Anatomists (Balta et al. 2019, Gross Anatomy Learning Objectives for Competency-based Undergraduate Medical Education). By the end of the course, students will demonstrate their mastery of the material through their ability to identify anatomical structures, and answer questions concerning functional anatomy, developmental anatomy, anatomical relationships, and other dimensions of anatomical knowledge. |

| COM 511 | Building Blocks of Medicine | 3.0 | College of Osteopathic Med |
|
The Building Blocks of Medicine course presents, reviews, and reinforces essential biomedical and clinical science concepts that underlie the practice of Osteopathic Medicine. This course covers the cognitive and conceptual knowledge for which mastery is essential for the practice of Osteopathic Medicine so that the student develops understanding and sound clinical reasoning. This content knowledge is integrated throughout the academic year and incorporates concepts and information from multiple scientific and clinical disciplines such as Osteopathic Principles and Practice (OPP), biochemistry, genetics, pharmacology, physiology, microbiology, immunology, histology, pathology, anatomy and health promotion/disease prevention. |
|||
| COM 512 | Musculoskeletal & Integumentary Systems | 3.0 | College of Osteopathic Med |
|
The Musculoskeletal and Integumentary Systems course presents, reviews, and reinforces their structural organization, fundamental physiological principles, and broad clinical significance that underlie the practice of Osteopathic Medicine. This course covers the cognitive and conceptual knowledge for which mastery is essential for the practice of Osteopathic Medicine so that the student develops understanding and sound clinical reasoning. This content knowledge is integrated throughout the academic year and incorporates concepts and information from multiple scientific and clinical disciplines such as Osteopathic Principles and Practice (OPP), histology, physiology, pathology, microbiology, imaging, pharmacology and health promotion/disease prevention. |
|||
| COM 517 | Doctor Patient Relationship 1 | 3.5 | College of Osteopathic Med |
|
This course emphasizes the acquisition and development of proficiency in skills essential for practice as an Osteopathic Physician. Skills that will be covered include professionalism and communication, data-gathering such as patient interviewing and physical examination of the different body regions/organ systems, osteopathic structural exams, developing a differential diagnosis, diagnostic testing, osteopathic manipulative treatment, record-keeping, and developing basic plans of care for patients. Students will learn about the importance of empathy, trust, cultural humility, and shared decision-making. Additionally, the course will explore the skills necessary for caring for special patient populations such as pediatric and geriatric patients. |

| COM 518 | Osteopathic Principles and Practice 1 | 3.5 | College of Osteopathic Med |
|
Osteopathic Principles and Practice 1 introduces first-year osteopathic medical students to the philosophy, principles, and clinical application of osteopathic medicine. The course provides the foundational knowledge and hands-on skills necessary for the practice of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), emphasizing the relationship between structure and function and the body’s inherent capacity for self-regulation and healing. Students will learn the core osteopathic tenets, develop palpatory skills, and begin training in osteopathic structural examination and treatment. Instruction focuses on the osteopathic assessment and treatment of the major body regions,including the spine, pelvis, sacrum, ribs, and extremities. Through a combination of didactic instruction, laboratory training, and clinical reasoning exercises, students will develop the ability to integrate osteopathic principles into patient care. The course introduces fundamental osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) approaches and techniques, including soft tissue, counterstrain, muscle energy, myofascial release, articulatory techniques, and additional indirect and direct methods. Students will also learn proper physician posture, ergonomics, and safe patient positioning to support effective and professional hands-on care. Additional topics include anatomy, physiology, clinical documentation of somatic dysfunction using osteopathic terminology, indications and contraindications for OMT, basic integration of OMM into common clinical presentations, and professionalism in patient interaction during hands-on care. Emphasis is placed on patient safety,respectful touch, and the integration of osteopathic thinking with the broader biomedical sciences taught during the first year of medical school. By the end of the course, students will be able to perform a basic osteopathic structural exam, identify common somatic dysfunctions, and apply OMT techniques in a safe and appropriate manner while demonstrating an understanding of how osteopathic principles support whole-person patient care. |
