‘‘ “MU-WCOM provides a comprehensive four-year educational program designed to meet the diverse needs of osteopathic medical students with a continual focus on the patient. The integrated and systems-based pre-clerkship curriculum provides a strong foundation in biomedical and clinical sciences that meets the dual objectives of successful board examination performance and clinical clerkship preparation. The clerkship curriculum gives students opportunities to apply their knowledge and clinical skills and continue their learning through high-quality patient care. A unique aspect of the development of medical professionals is explored through an integrated four-year co-curricular experience focused on Professional Identity Formation. Our efforts to prepare students for graduate medical education begin on the first day, focusing on helping students meet their personal and professional goals.
STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Some of MU-WCOM’s greatest strengths include the continual development of our program in response to student feedback and internal evaluation, and our inclusive, learner-centered culture that is embraced by the entire MU-WCOM community.”

Near West Free Clinic
‘‘ “I began volunteering at the Near West Free Clinic (NWFC) in early 2021 and immediately felt drawn to their mission. It allowed me to practice the skills I was learning in the classroom while serving the Indianapolis community. Growing up in an underserved rural area, I have always had a passion for service, especially in disadvantaged communities. NWFC provides a place for me to fulfill that passion and offer care to individuals who may not have access to healthcare elsewhere. My experience at the clinic has been pivotal in my transition from student to physician, and I will be forever grateful for my time there.”
