Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine
(CCOM)
The osteopathic approach and commitment to health care is patient-oriented,
not disease-oriented. By incorporating the additional skill of osteopathic
manipulative medicine (OMM) with the latest advances in modern medicine,
osteopathic physicians can provide patients with the most comprehensive,
holistic care available today.
Chicago College of Pharmacy (CCP)
As a pharmacist, you may select drug therapies, determine dosage
forms and schedules, communicate recommendations to physicians,
prepare medications, counsel patients, and educate other health
professionals about optimal drug use. The aging US population and
advances in pharmaceuticals mean new pharmacists are needed in settings
from community pharmacies and hospitals to educational institutions,
laboratories, and managed care.
