About CCOM: Downers Grove, Illinois
| Mission Vision Governance Accreditation  Greetings
from the DeanIn 1900, in a small building at 405 West Washington Street, Chicago, the American College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery opened its doors for the training of osteopathic physicians—with a student body of four and a faculty of five. Today, this osteopathic medical institution—now the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, a college of Midwestern University—accounts for nearly 13% of all practicing osteopathic physicians and surgeons in the United States. For over 100 years, CCOM has raised the standards of osteopathic medical education and practice. The College has fought gallantly, often at tremendous odds, to win for itself and the osteopathic medical profession the right to teach its graduates to practice medicine on equal terms with all other qualified physicians. The College continues to maintain the highest academic standards for preparing its graduates to enter the osteopathic profession. The College continues to prepare its graduates to practice effectively in the ever-changing health care delivery system. CCOM's program combines the necessary underlying scientific principles with the appropriate psychosocial skills to enable its graduates to practice both the art and the science of osteopathic medicine. CCOM's rich heritage and historical emphasis on primary care uniquely prepare its graduates to practice medicine osteopathically while competing successfully in today's health care environment. Welcome to the College and to the osteopathic profession. Karen J. Nichols, D.O. Mission Vision
