crucial to the intellectual vitality of the campus community. It is through freedom
of exchange over different ideas and viewpoints in supportive environments that our
graduates develop the critical thinking and citizenship skills that will benefit them
throughout their lives.
Since 1899, PCOM has trained highly competent, caring physicians, health practitioners
and behavioral scientists who practice a “whole person” approach to care - treating
people, not just symptoms. As the field of medicine has changed, we've changed with

and the communities they serve. At the main campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PCOM),
the branch campus in Suwanee, Georgia (PCOM Georgia), and our newest location in Moultrie,

more professional, more team-oriented manner, which prepares them to work successfully
in integrated healthcare settings with other health professionals.

Medicine (OMM) director and the Primary Care Skills (PCS) director of the osteopathic
medicine program at PCOM South Georgia. This work involves coordinating or overseeing
high level administrative operations of both departments. The individual works under
minimal supervision with extensive latitude for the use of initiative and independent
judgment.
