College of Osteopathic Medicine
The College of Osteopathic Medicine was established in 1916 and has graduated more than 7,000 osteopathic physicians since. Through this college, KCUMB confers the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. The college of osteopathic medicine is fully accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA). The school also has an early matriculation program, called the Partnership Plan, with several undergraduate institutions. In this program students can apply to in their sophomore year of college and be accepted by their junior year.
The College of Osteopathic Medicine offers two dual-degree programs: a D.O./M.B.A. in Healthcare Leadership, and a D.O./M.A. in Bioethics. The M.B.A. in leadership and management is offered through a partnership with Rockhurst University’s Helzberg School of Management. The degree complements students' medical education by developing physician-managers of competence and conscience with the business and leadership skills necessary to provide quality, holistic healthcare. M.B.A. coursework is integrated into the existing KCUMB curriculum. Dual-degree students complete both programs in 4 years and graduate with other members of their KCUMB class.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or medicine:
“The only trouble here is they won’t let us study enough. They are so afraid we shall break down and you know the reputation of the College is at stake, for the question is, can girls get a college degree without ruining their health?”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“We gave ‘em wings to fly and they rained death on us. We gave ‘em a voice to be heard around the world and they preach hatred to poison the minds of nations. Even the medicine we gave them to ease their pain is turned into a vice to enslave half mankind for the profit of a few. Ah, Janet, dear, don’t you see? Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
