CHICAGO, Oct., 30, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 The Chicago School\u2019s proposed Illinois College of Osteopathic Medicine (IllinoisCOM) has joined a pilot program offered by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) to support its progress through the accreditation process.<\/p>\n

As part of the program, AACOM will provide the proposed IllinoisCOM access to its comprehensive resources, information and subject matter experts, while the college will evaluate AACOM\u2019s existing services, identify new needs, and collaborate on planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoining this collaborative pilot program is another milestone in our plan to launch a new world-class college of osteopathic medicine in Chicago, which will fill a critical need in providing care to underserved communities across the country,\u201d said Dr. Michele Nealon, president of The Chicago School. \u201cAccess to AACOM\u2019s critical resources and expertise will be valuable to the proposed IllinoisCOM as it prepares to welcome student doctors and enhance the future healthcare workforce in Illinois and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building on The Chicago School\u2019s commitment to advance the connection between mental and physical health, the proposed IllinoisCOM will integrate mental health education throughout its curriculum and training, supporting comprehensive wellness for both patients and future physicians. The college\u2019s innovative approach to learning will also harness artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to improve training for the next generation of doctors, providing them with significant hands-on experience before they interact with patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to collaborate with AACOM in shaping the future of osteopathic medical education through this new pilot program,\u201d said John Lucas, DO, Founding Dean and Chief Academic Officer at the proposed IllinoisCOM. \u201cThis partnership will undoubtedly help the proposed IllinoisCOM advance our mission to train compassionate, highly skilled physicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the proposed IllinoisCOM, The University of Northern Colorado College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNC COM) will participate in the AACOM pilot, which will enable both institutions to begin testing the services immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cAACOM is committed to ensuring that all colleges of osteopathic medicine achieving candidate status with the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) have the tools and support necessary to successfully educate the next generation of DOs,\u201d said Robert A. Cain, DO, AACOM president and CEO. \u201cWe are especially grateful to the proposed IllinoisCOM and UNC COM for their collaboration in helping us expand and refine these essential services for developing COMs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chicago School is a proud member of The Community Solution Education System, the nation\u2019s only fully integrated private, nonprofit higher education system. The proposed IllinoisCOM will be The Community Solution\u2019s second college of osteopathic medicine, a reflection of its focus on preparing professionals who will go on to enhance community well-being, with a particular focus on the interconnectedness of physical and mental health.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn important strength of The Community Solution Education System is the powerful, collaborative relationships we\u2019ve established over the years throughout the higher education sector,\u201d said Michael Horowitz, chancellor of The Community Solution Education System. \u201cThis partnership is another example of that, and a model that will benefit countless COMs to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
