The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine is a leader in training primary care physicians and other critical physician specialists who are prepared to address the most pervasive medical needs in the state and the nation. Our 3,386 alumni are serving patients in most Ohio counties, in every state and in nine countries. Forty-seven percent of Heritage College alumni practice in primary care specialties and nearly 60 percent practice in Ohio. Of our Class of 2016, 90 percent pursued graduate medical education training in areas with ongoing and projected physician workforce shortages. Our education programs include the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree, dual degree programs, pre-medical school experiences, and continuing education for physicians and other health care professionals. Heritage College medical students begin their studies at our one of our three campuses, located in Athens, Dublin and Cleveland. During their first two years, they also see patients in early clinical experiences, support community health initiatives through volunteer outreach locally and abroad, and conduct research alongside faculty. Medical students carry out their third- and fourth-year clinical education in our 28 partnering community hospitals and other health care facilities spanning Ohio. In 2016, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of our founding. In 1976, we welcomed 24 students to our Athens campus. We welcomed our largest class ever – 240 students, 10 times larger than our first entering class – when we opened our third campus in Cleveland in affiliation with Cleveland Clinic in 2015. In 2014, we opened our Dublin campus with generous support from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation award, Vision 2020: Leading the Transformation of Primary Care in Ohio, and in partnership with OhioHealth.
