Graduate Medical Education
OCOM will support the continuum of osteopathic medical education.
In addition to undergraduate medical education, OCOM supports Graduate and Continuing Medical Education. OCOM, in partnership with Dr. Kiran C. Patel (philanthropist) has created the Dr. Kiran C. Patel Institute on Graduate Medical Education (GME Institute). The GME Institute is a separate, 501(c)3 non-profit institution housed at OCOM and receives financial support from Dr. Patel as well as significant direct and indirect financial support from OCOM. The GME Institute’s Executive Director has a dotted line reporting structure to the Dean of OCOM as well as to the GME Institute’s Board, which has a seat reserved for the Dean of OCOM. OCOM will provide ongoing financial support for the GME Institute. Furthermore, the GME Institute, as part of its commitment to support OCOM, will provide continuing medical education as part of supporting the continuum osteopathic medical education in its partnership with OCOM.
Additionally, OCOM has a deep understanding of the importance of the obligations to ensure entry of students into graduate medical education (GME) upon graduation. In addition to the above endeavors to support the development and sustainability of graduate medical education opportunities, OCOM has developed the following GME placement plan to support students entry into GME:
