The Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) at Rowan University is designed for aspiring physicians committed to a holistic approach to patient care, integrating the body, environment, and community into treatment strategies. You will engage with a nationally recognized program known for its excellence in primary care, geriatric education, and osteopathic manipulative medicine. This postgraduate PhD equips you with the foundational knowledge and clinical reasoning skills essential for addressing complex health challenges. You will become part of a dynamic learning environment fostered by the collaboration between Rowan University and Virtua Health, preparing you to make significant contributions to health and wellness.
This full-time, on-campus DO program is delivered over two years, offering two distinct pre-clerkship curriculum tracks: Synergistic Guided Learning (SGL) and Problem-based Learning (PBL). The SGL track offers a single-pass, system-based design with an emphasis on self-directed and team-based learning, while the PBL track utilizes a student-centered approach with clinical case presentations to stimulate learning and develop clinical reasoning. All students follow the same curriculum for their third and fourth years. You will graduate prepared for residency and a career in diverse medical settings, leveraging the extensive resources of Virtua Health, South Jersey's largest health system.
