Proud to be Maine's Medical School
On the southern coast of Maine, UNE's College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM) campus is a close-knit community with convenient access to urban opportunities that includes state-of-the-art facilities for medical research, anatomical study, manual medicine, and the development of foundational clinical skills.
Recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a leader in osteopathic medical education, we have a substantial clinical campus structure and academic affiliations with community-based hospital systems in the region and throughout the Northeast.
Through rigorous academic study, coordinated with exploration and practice in the dissection lab, clinical skills lab, and clinical settings, students acquire a deep understanding of structural human anatomy and become excellent practitioners of both traditional medicine specialties and osteopathic manipulative medicine.
In addition to a focus on patient-centered clinical experiences and competency, UNE COM values the role of research in all of its educational, clinical, and basic science activities. The Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences endeavors to make innovative discoveries in the neurosciences. The Center of Biomedical Research Excellence for the Study of Pain and Sensory Function works toward understanding of the neurobiology of chronic pain, and the discovery and development of new therapies.
The Plan to Move UNE's Medical School
Plans are underway to relocate UNE COM to a brand-new building on our Portland Campus.
