Overview
Founded in 1995 as the second campus location for Midwestern University, AZCOM was established to expand access to osteopathic medical education in the western United States. It was Arizona's first osteopathic medical school and has since grown into a major producer of primary care physicians serving the region. The college emphasizes a holistic, patient-centered approach to medicine consistent with osteopathic philosophy, combining rigorous biomedical science training with hands-on osteopathic manipulative medicine instruction.
