Dean's Message

Welcome to the world of osteopathic medical education. We take great delight in inviting you to explore what the first osteopathic medical college in the Gulf South has to offer.

Thank you for stopping by the William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine website. We know you have several great choices for your medical education and what WCUCOM offers is a blended mixture of discipline-based instruction correlated with osteopathic principles and practice. While the discipline-based model is the primary form of instruction, small groups and problem-based learning techniques are also utilized.

The mission at William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine is to train primary care physicians for rural and underserved areas of the Gulf South Region. Access to quality primary care is perhaps the single greatest need in American medicine today and WCUCOM is doing its part to provide osteopathic physicians who will help relieve the burden.

Please be sure to review the site navigating your way through the myriad of hyperlinks and information that has been provided.
