WINTER GARDEN, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2024 The Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine (OCOM) made history Sunday, March 10th, as officials cut the ribbon on Central Florida’s newest medical school.
“OCOM is Florida’s newest medical school and Central Florida’s first osteopathic medical school,” said Robert T Hasty, DO, FACOI, FACP, Dean & Chief Academic Officer of OCOM. “We have developed a remarkable medical school that will train caring and expert physicians for generations to come.
