Welcome Week 2025

We are proud to officially welcome the Class of 2029—OCOM’s second cohort of future physicians—to campus!


Welcome Week kicks off Friday, July 25th, and continues with exciting activities on July 29th, 30th, and 31st designed to help our newest student doctors build connections, find support, and begin their journey in osteopathic medicine.


We are equally thrilled to welcome back our inaugural Class of 2028 as they return to campus and continue paving the way as OCOM’s founding class.


Our Student Affairs team has been hard at work for months, thoughtfully planning every detail to ensure a meaningful and energizing start to the academic year. Here's to a great year ahead!

Food Pantry

At the OCOM, we support the whole student—mind, body, and spirit. As part of that commitment, OCOM maintains a campus food pantry to ensure that no student faces food insecurity during their medical education. Medical school is demanding, and access to nutritious food should never hinder success. The food pantry is a resource for all OCOM students, designed to offer comfort, dignity, and support as they pursue their calling in medicine.

We are now launching a campaign to stock the shelves of this pantry. We are calling on our OCOM community—faculty, staff, preceptors, and friends—to help us physically and mentally nourish our students. Whether it’s canned goods, shelf-stable snacks, or other essentials, every contribution is vital in helping our student doctors stay focused, healthy, and ready to care for others. Together, we can ensure that our future physicians never have to worry about where their next meal will come from.
