The Nova Southeastern University Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine was established in 1979 and matriculated its first class in 1981.
For students pursuing their education at Nova Southeastern University's Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (NSU-KPCOM), the matriculation experience has proven to be both challenging and rewarding. By combining the most contemporary teaching modalities with the newest technology, our students are assured of obtaining the most comprehensive education possible.
However, while providing a cutting-edge curriculum is important in today’s ever-changing landscape, one of the keys to our success is best illustrated by the dedicated faculty members who impart that education to the students. Our faculty members have many backgrounds, different degrees, various specialties, and wide-ranging educational experiences. These differences have produced a robust educational engine that is driving the college in a very beneficial way—a fact that is reflected in our students’ productivity academically, personally, and professionally.
Leading by example and serving as mentors; that is how NSU-KPCOM faculty members bring out the best in our students. This is amply demonstrated by our faculty’s caring, compassion, and willingness to devote copious amounts of time to various community activities, as well as local, national, and international medical outreach programs. The faculty’s positive impact on our student body is also evidenced by the high level of esteem our students are receiving from outside institutions. The success our students are having in various graduate medical education programs and how they are being actively recruited for clinical positions, fellowships, and other career opportunities prove that the ever-evolving NSU-KPCOM medical education paradigm is indeed a success.
The mission of the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine is to provide learner-centered education, both nationally and internationally, for osteopathic medical students, postgraduate trainees, physicians, and other professionals. Through its interprofessional programs, the college prepares competent and compassionate lifelong learners; supports research, scholarly activity, and community service; and advocates for the health and welfare of diverse populations including the medically underserved.
