Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine (RVUCOM) is a private, for-profit osteopathic medical school located in Parker, Colorado. The school opened in 2006 as the only modern for-profit medical school in the United States but has since been joined by California Northstate University College of Medicine. RVUCOM grants the degree of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, and admitted its inaugural class of medical students in August 2008. An additional campus is currently under construction in Ivins, Utah and is expected to admit its inaugural class of 125 medical students in August 2017.
Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine opened in 2006, and the first class was admitted in 2008. The school is fully accredited by the American Osteopathic Association Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation, and regionally by the Higher Learning Commission. The school graduated its inaugural class on May 19, 2012.
RVUCOM offers the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree, which follows a systems-based, 4-year curriculum. Years 1 and 2 of the program consist primarily of classroom-based learning, focusing on the basic sciences, while years 3 and 4 consist of clinical clerkships (Rotations) in major medical specialties. Rotation sites include hospitals and clinics in the Denver area, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Pueblo, and Boulder. As an enhancement to the general medical education, students of the college are offered the opportunity to enroll in one of four "Honors Tracks." Each track has a distinct emphasis on either Rural, Global, or Military Medical Practice, or on Medical Research/Academia.
