Elective Courses

Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine

Annually the Registrar publishes a listing of available optional elective courses that have been approved by the Curriculum Committee. Electives are short, in-depth courses in a variety of areas related to medicine (e.g., drug and alcohol abuse, computers in medicine, etc), which are designed to broaden understanding of important topics. These courses are open to CCOM students in the spring quarter of their first year and in all three quarters of their second year. Failures in elective courses carry the same weighting as failures in core curriculum courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, etc.

The specific list of electives offered will vary.
