ABOUT THE COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE

The University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNE COM) is dedicated to preparing students for successful careers as skilled and caring osteopathic physicians. As Maines sole medical school, UNE COM confers the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (D.O.) and consistently achieves top scores in national licensing exams. UNE COM has recently established the Master of Science in Clinical Anatomy degree to address the need for more anatomy specialists and foster future health care professionals, educators, and researchers. Our integrated curriculum, guided by the principles of osteopathic medicine, offers diverse learning experiences to develop the knowledge and clinical skills necessary for competent medical practice. UNE COM has been recognized among the top ten medical schools in the U.S. for graduates obtaining the residency of their choice.

UNE COM graduates are leaders in health care at the local, state, and national levels throughout the U.S., and within all branches of the military. Over 70% of UNE COM graduates practice in underserved areas, caring for our most vulnerable populations. While two-thirds of graduates practice in primary care, the remainder choose careers in specialty and subspecialty medicine.

Undergraduate, graduate, and medical students work with faculty, professional staff, and peers to conduct exciting and innovative research in fields such as cancer and metabolic disease, immunology and infectious disease, anatomy, interventional pain management, neuroscience, and pain research.

Our commitment to Interprofessional Education and Practice is evident through collaborations with programs in dental medicine, pharmacy, nursing, physician assistant, occupational and physical therapy, and social work. UNE COM facilitates collaborative initiatives with our health profession colleagues including rural immersion experiences, scholars programs, research opportunities, and shared clinical training assignments.

The UNE COM Department of Continuing Medical Education (CME) maintains dual accreditation with the American Osteopathic Association and the Maine Medical Association; authorizing UNE COMs sponsorship of collaborative CME activities for both osteopathic (D.O.) and allopathic (M.D.) physicians. UNE COM is one of a handful of providers in the country that holds this distinction.
