Overview
The University of Northern Colorado College of Osteopathic Medicine was announced and developed in the early 2020s as part of UNC's expansion into health sciences, aiming to address physician shortages in rural and underserved areas of Colorado and the broader Rocky Mountain region. As a new addition to the university's academic portfolio, the college represents a significant institutional shift for UNC, traditionally known for education, business, and performing arts programs, into professional medical education. The program is designed with a mission-driven focus on primary care, community health, and osteopathic principles emphasizing whole-person care.
