Helping You Navigate Medical School

Our office is designed to meet the needs of our students during various points along their journeys to becoming osteopathic physicians and to continue that relationship as alumni. By adhering to our mission, we strive to assist both prospective and current students as they navigate medical school.

If you are a prospective student, we are eager to help you learn more about UNE COM through regional receptions, campus visits, and admission interviews. Once you are admitted, we work with you in the areas of leadership development, financial responsibility, student organization support, personal advocacy, event planning, and more. After you earn your degree, we make sure you remain connected to the COM community.
