Osteopathic Medical Program 
PCOM Georgia

The osteopathic medicine curriculum combines lectures and applied, firsthand learning exercises to instruct students in patient care and clinical science principles. Our medical students regularly work with simulation equipment and live patient actors to gain invaluable experience in clinical procedures and treatments.

As a student in PCOM Georgia's DO program, you will learn anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, clinical medicine and more in a cohesive, interdisciplinary fashion during your first and second years. As a third- and fourth-year student, you'll work at hospitals and health clinics in the greater Atlanta area under the direction of accomplished physicians in order to develop your clinical skills in all aspects of patient care. Through participation in rounds, lectures, conferences, morning reports and case presentations, you will develop skills in history taking, physical examination, differential diagnosis as well as invasive and non-invasive procedures.
