CARE THAT CHANGES
EVERYTHING
WHAT TRULY MATTERS.
OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE IS MORE THAN A MODEL. IT’S OUR MINDSET.
At the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, care is at the heart of who we are. With a commitment to collaboration and a focus on osteopathic medicine, we train future primary care physicians and specialists to treat the whole patient, immersing them in osteopathic philosophy and practice from their very first days. Our approach to medicine and patient care emphasizes physician-patient relationships; prioritizes prevention and wellness; and considers a patient’s environment, beliefs and values in their diagnosis, treatment and care. Ultimately, we’re transforming how the next generation of health care leaders learn and how they deliver care to diverse patient populations.

A CURRICULUM WITH CARE AT THE CORE.
Welcome to the Pathways to Health and Wellness Curriculum
We put the patient at the center of care, and we put you at the center of learning. The Pathways to Health and Wellness Curriculum is a transformative approach to medical training that emphasizes small-group learning, integrated active-learning labs, and clinical and community experiences early on. Through this unique curriculum, you’ll develop the skills to keep pace with the complexities in health care delivery, and you'll be prepared to lead interprofessional care teams.
Flipping the Script on Traditional Learning
Our curriculum puts you in charge of your academic experience. Because your studies are self-directed, you use the learning strategies that best fit your learning style. And with our flipped classroom approach, you’ll actively collaborate with classmates, learn from experienced faculty in small groups, and dive into case-based scenarios instead of just listening to presentations and lectures.

WELLNESS, ABOVE ALL.
At the Heritage College, we understand that in order to be a healer, you have to be healthy. That’s why, every week, you'll have a protected block of wellness time to use as you see fit. Whether it’s taking advantage of wellness programming, volunteering or just getting caught up, you can count on this time.
SUPPORT FOR EVERYTHING
Our Office of Inclusion nurtures a welcoming environment on all three campuses through cultural competency training and strategic learning experiences. But inclusion isn’t limited to the efforts of this single office. We embed the values of representation, respect, empathy and diversity in everything we do.
BALANCE
The Heritage College is committed to honoring the wholeness and balance within each person for both physical and mental health needs. On each of our three campuses, we offer spaces to support mindfulness, meditation, prayer, exercise and lactation. Students also have access to dedicated mental health professionals and other resources.
Have a specific interest?
There’s probably a club for that. With over 100 student organizations spread across our three campuses you can find your people while at Heritage College.
