As the fourth oldest active medical school in Illinois, CCOM is well known in the local and national healthcare communities as a medical school that graduates excellent osteopathic physicians who are well-prepared for the next step in their medical education as highly skilled resident physicians. Choosing CCOM means a high probability of success while excelling on your medical licensing boards and successfully matching into residency training. With thanks to our exceptional and student-centered faculty, our strong basic science education and clinical training will capture your interest and allow you to grow as a medical student while you learn the art and science of medicine and medical practice.
