Course of Study NSU’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine has a dedicated faculty; well-established affiliations with medical centers, hospitals, and health care systems; a nationally recognized rural medicine program; and a mission to educate the finest osteopathic physicians possible. We place our students and residents at the nation’s fourth largest public hospital system—the North Broward Hospital District—and at our many other regional academic centers throughout Florida and several other states to improve continuity and coordination of clinical education within our vast and growing clinical training network. Our innovative curriculum is designed to fulfill our mission. The design of the curriculum is based on successful academic models—carefully developed and integrated. It emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, guiding students to develop a holistic, and more importantly, an osteopathic approach to medicine. We continually correlate basic scientific information with fundamental clinical application. Students are given the opportunity for exposure to clinical settings in their first year, which gives them the potential to prepare for the “real world” of medicine. This clinical exposure continues into the second year when students have increased opportunity to interact with standardized patients on campus, as well as be involved, under physician supervision, with real patients in the office and hospital setting.
