The University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNECOM) is dedicated to the improvement of life through the education of osteopathic physicians, research and service. The College emphasizes health, healing and primary care for the people of New England and the nation.
With the Harold Alfond Center for Health Sciences, the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine has some of the best medical education facilities in the nation, and the College has been recognized for educational excellence in primary care, geriatric education and osteopathic manipulative medicine.
Part of a quality education is teaching students how to think critically and independently. That’s why the College requires our medical students to work in an atmosphere of scientific inquiry and research. Our medical students have many opportunities to work with faculty conducting biomedical research in areas as diverse as diabetes, neuroscience and marine viruses.
In addition to the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree, the College also offers internships and residencies as well as a Master of Science in Medical Education Leadership, a Master of Public Health or a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Public Health.
