The Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine (OCOM), Central Florida’s newest medical school is interviewing for the Class of 2029! OCOM offers a curriculum that covers two years of didactic training on campus, followed by two years of clinical rotations throughout the state of Florida.

The mission of the Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine is to train caring and competent osteopathic physicians who will have an impact on the Central Florida community, our nation, and our global community.

This is accomplished through our patient-centered education, where all aspects of medical education integrate the biomedical sciences and are applied to clinical scenarios to garner higher learning outcomes using critical thinking led by experienced clinicians. Vertical and horizontal integration facilitates linkage between course and clinical work across the four years of the curriculum.

We strongly believe that the clinical application of basic and biomedical sciences offers a superior approach to traditional learning approaches, such as straight recall. By having admission prerequisites in place, we do not need to recreate undergraduate courses in our curriculum; rather, we create just-in-time learning opportunities to ensure that all students are prepared for clinical discussions.

Our strongest applicants will have a minimum 3.2 Science and Overall GPA, and a 500 MCAT score. To learn more about the Admissions process, click here or email Admissions@OCOM.org.

Thank you for your interest in the Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
