Lincoln Memorial University–DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine
Description: Lincoln Memorial University is a private four-year co-educational liberal artscollege located in Harrogate, Tennessee.
The plans for Lincoln Memorial University-DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU-DCOM) began in 2004 when Chairman of the LMU Board of Trustees Autry O.V. "Pete" DeBusk met Ray Stowers, D.O., F.A.C.O.F.P. Both were members of the MedPAC Commission, a Medicare advisory board in Washington, D.C. DeBusk, an LMU alumnus, shared his dream of a college of medicine at LMU with Stowers, a rural family physician. After conducting a year-long feasibility study, LMU announced it was pursuing a college of osteopathic medicine and named Dr. Stowers as vice president and dean. The college was named in honor of its initiator, and the DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine was born. The four-story, 105,000-square-foot (9,800 m²) building was opened to its inaugural class of osteopathic medical students on August 1, 2007.
The academic program is intended to meet the following goals:
- To accord primacy to the role of the musculoskeletal system in the total body economy.
- To recognize and emphasize the inherent capacity within the total person to overcome disease and maintain health; and to educate physicians to cooperate with this therapeutic capacity in their methods of treatment.
- To provide sufficient academic training to make students aware of health needs that must be referred to a consultant.
The curriculum will be divided into two phases:
- Pre-clinical Sciences (Years 1 and 2)
- Clinical experiences (Years 3 and 4)
A primary care physician must be skilled in problem solving and demonstrate expertise in diagnosis. In order to achieve this goal, the DCOM curricula will emphasize the integration of the basic and clinical sciences in medical practice.
