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.
