Academic Programs
Doctor of Medicine
NEOUCOM’s Integrated Steps Curriculum is designed to develop the
characteristics that people say they want to see in their doctors:
competence, communication, caring, character and community. NEOUCOM
offers several routes to admission for those seeking a doctor of
medicine degree: B.S./M.D., direct entry or transfer admission.
Please visit the Office of Admissions Web site to learn more about admission to the doctor of medicine degree. Please visit the Office of Health Professions Education Web site to learn about the College of Medicine’s Integrated Steps Curriculum.
Doctor of Pharmacy
The Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Pharmacy was given approval from the Ohio Board of Regents to offer a Doctor of Pharmacy degree in November, 2005 and has been awarded Precandidate accreditation status by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) during their January, 2007 meeting of the ACPE Board of Directors. The program was created to address an identified community need: a shortage of pharmacists. Recent studies indicate that by 2020 Ohio will experience a shortage of 14,000 pharmacists; nationally, it is expected there will be a 157,000 shortfall of pharmacists. Furthermore, as the population ages and as the pharmacist's role expands in patient care, it is anticipated that the need for pharmacists will continue to outpace the supply.
NEOUCOM has partnered with The University of
Akron, Kent State University, Youngstown
State University
and Cleveland State University
to offer the doctor of pharmacy program. Preferential admissions agreements
will allow many students to complete their pre-pharmacy studies at one of these
universities and then apply to the four-year NEOUCOM program. A direct-entry
route to admission also is anticipated.
Please visit the Office of Admissions Web site to learn more about admission to the doctor of pharmacy degree.
