Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

Be at the forefront of the most popular way to practice medicine. As a student of the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) program at Nova Southeastern University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, you’ll master the unique combination of scientific knowledge and humanism that is D.O.

This four-year program doesn't just prepare you for the real world, it helps you carve your ideal path to be a leader in competent and compassionate care through intensive coursework, clinical reviews, and customized rotation plans. Much like traditional medical doctors, D.O.s remain on the cutting edge of research and technology, yet they are equally committed to being compassionate healers, especially to underserved populations.

Your learning experience will reinforce this distinct approach to medicine starting on day one. With access to extensive resources, interprofessional service learnings, and a three-month rotation in a rural or urban medically underserved setting, you’ll quickly develop a strong patient-focused mindset that will distinguish you as a professional with expert medical skills and a human touch.
