Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine—Osteopathic Medicine Program 23 Mission Statement The Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Program in the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine is dedicated to equitable, inclusive, and student-centered osteopathic medical education to produce exemplary osteopathic physicians known for competent and compassionate care. Accreditation Nova Southeastern University Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine’s Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Program has been granted accreditation by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation of the American Osteopathic Association. This body is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council of Post-Secondary Accreditation as the accrediting agency for colleges educating osteopathic physicians and surgeons. An Osteopathic Physician Two types of complete physicians may practice medicine in all 50 states: the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) and the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.). While both types of physicians are trained in all aspects of patient care, D.O.s offer a distinct, holistic approach to medicine. Osteopathic medicine is distinguished by an emphasis on primary care, by using osteopathic manipulative medicine when necessary, and by a tradition of caring for patients in underserved rural and urban areas. Osteopathic physicians recognize the relationship between physical structure and organic function and view the human body as an interdependent unit rather than an assortment of separate parts and systems. While all medical and surgical specialties are represented within the osteopathic medical profession, the training of vitally needed primary care physicians and the drive to reach rural, minority, geriatric, and indigent populations, make the osteopathic medical profession unique.
