OMM Clinical Scholars Program 
Philadelphia Campus

OMM Clinical Scholars start the program at the beginning of their third year of osteopathic medical school, after going through an application period and interview with the OMM Department Faculty. The application process starts in the winter term of the second year of study.

PCOM OMM Clinical Scholars have special academic and clinical opportunities and responsibilities beyond those of other students, which includes helping to teach first and second year osteopathic medical students in OMM lab settings, OMM review sessions and OMM tutoring. They also spend an additional 12 months working with OMM faculty, seeing patients in the PCOM OMM Practice. This extends the clinical clerkship curriculum to three years, rather than the traditional two. While the emphasis is on OMM clinical experience and teaching, some scholars also work with ongoing OMM research projects.

Clinical Scholars Program benefits include:

  • Remission of tuition
  • Monthly stipend
  • Travel allowance
  • Four months of OMM rotations each year for three years, which includes rotating with OMM faculty, seeing patients (under OMM faculty supervision) and teaching first and second year students.
