Two New DO Schools
At its meeting last weekend, the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) granted initial provisional accreditation to Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine, Yakima, WA and Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Parker, CO.
Both colleges plan to begin instruction in late summer/fall 2008.
Information about each of these colleges is available on their college www sites:
Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences COM
Rocky Vista University COM
Each of these new colleges is in the process of joining AACOM. Once that process is completed these colleges will be added to the AACOMAS www site for designation for applications. Until then, applicants who want to initiate an application can complete the AACOMAS application through the point of submission and payment and have their application saved for submission once the new colleges are added for designation. Applicants who have already completed and submitted their applications will be able to add designations for the new colleges. Once the new colleges are available for designation AACOMAS will notify all applicants in the AACOMAS system of the availability of the new colleges for designation.
