Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine

Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine (PCSOM) is the 19th school of osteopathic medicine in the country.

PCSOM is located in central Appalachia, the eastern part of Kentucky. The panoramic scenes of hills and valleys have contributed to the often isolated, rural background of this region.

Demographic and economic data reveal rates higher than state and national levels for unemployment, work disability, poverty, Medicaid, uninsured and mortality for all ages. Nearly 6.8% of the population is unemployed, which is 150% above the national norm and 49.2% have less than a high school education.

Medical Mission Trip to Batay Nueve, Dominican Republic

This year PCSOM students helped raise enough money to send students to a small island in the Dominican Republic.

The team collected pharmaceuticals and medical equipment in order to set up a clinic and pharmacy in the small community.
