Office of Preclinical Education

The Office of Preclinical Education at the Nova Southeastern University Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine oversees the first two years of osteopathic medical education. The preclinical curriculum integrates osteopathic principles, foundational science, and systems-based learning. It combines organ systems-based study, an emphasis on the body's natural healing abilities, essential scientific knowledge, early exposure to clinical skills, and a humanistic and empathetic approach to patient care. This curriculum prepares students for a comprehensive understanding of medicine and the skills needed for future medical practice.
