The Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) is a non-profit, private, medical school for osteopathic medicine located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Founded in 2013, the school is located on the campus of New Mexico State University (NMSU). The medical school holds provisional accreditation from the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation.[1]

History

The Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine was founded in 2013, at a cost of $85 million.[2] BCOM was granted applicant status in 2012 by the American Osteopathic Association, and ultimately received provisional accreditation in July 2015. BCOM will begin its first courses in 2016.[3] The new medical school has received about $110 million in donations from private investors.[4]

BCOM is the first osteopathic medical school in New Mexico, and the second medical school in the state.[5]

Academics

The Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine offers a single degree, the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree. It is a four year program. Years 1 and 2 of the DO program consist primarily of classroom-based learning. Students will complete clinical clerkships during years 3 and 4 at one of three primary sites: Las Cruces, Albuquerque, or El Paso, Texas. BCOM offers international elective clerkship rotations in Chihuahua, Mexico.[1] A post-baccalaureate program is also offered for students interested in more preparation prior to entering health professional programs.[1]

No dual degree programs are offered at this time.

Campus

BCOM consists of a newly constructed 80,000 square foot building located on the Arrowhead Research Park on the NMSU campus. It is located next to the NMSU football stadium. Students at BCOM may access all of the campus facilities and resources at NMSU, and may opt to live in student housing.[6]
