Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine

The path for a new School of Osteopathic Medicine at Campbell University is an exciting one. In spring 2010, Campbell’s Board of Trustees commissioned a feasibility study about the potential for a medical school. In fall 2010, the Board approved the creation of a medical school at Campbell. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on December 8, 2011, and Campbell will welcome more than 150 first-year medical students in August 2013.

The focus of Campbell’s School of Osteopathic Medicine will be primary care training: family medicine, general surgery, OB/GYN, pediatrics, psychiatry, and other critical services, with an emphasis on underserved communities. Campbell medical students will also receive clinical training in numerous hospital systems across the state.

The total project cost will be in excess of $60 million. The regional economic impact of the medical school over its first ten years of operation will be $300 million and 1,158 new jobs.

The MISSION of the Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine (CUSOM) is to educate and prepare community-based osteopathic physicians in a Christian environment to care for the rural and underserved populations in North Carolina, the Southeastern United States, and the nation.

About Campbell University & the School of Osteopathic Medicine

When the Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine opens in August 2013, it will be the first new school of medicine in North Carolina in over 35 years. The Mission of the Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine is to educate and prepare community–based osteopathic physicians in a Christian environment to care for the rural and underserved populations in North Carolina, the Southeastern United States and the nation. The following values drive the medical school’s faculty, staff and students: teamwork, leadership, professionalism, integrity, diversity, and the ethical treatment of all humanity.

Campbell University began addressing health care issues in 1985 with the establishment of the nationally acclaimed School of Pharmacy, which was the first new pharmacy school founded in the United States in nearly 40 years. In addition to offering the Doctor of Pharmacy program, the school offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Clinical Research and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In 2009, the name was formally changed from the School of Pharmacy to the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences to provide additional health science programs, including the newly established Physician Assistant program (2011), a Master of Public Health degree (2012) and a proposed Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (anticipated to begin 2014).
