College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific and COMP-Northwest, remain committed to ushering a new generation of osteopathic physicians who serve their patients with purpose, passion, and proficiency. The faculty and staff at both campuses inspire a shared vision of a student-centered, inter-professional approach to learning with a meaningful emphasis on humanistic health care. We strive to model the way for our students and alumni by being leaders in our profession, our communities, and in the realm of academia. Today\u2019s advanced technology and the ever-growing body of medical knowledge continue to move COMP and COMP-Northwest into a new era of medicine. A vigorous desire to heal combined with their strong medical education makes our students stand apart from the rest. Our students thrive in a culture of patient-focused care because they practice on a foundation of professionalism, benevolence, and respect. They understand that while they practice the art of medicine with their heads, they must never forget to use their hearts.<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div class=\"my-48 md:mt-96 md:mb-72\" vue-app>\n  <div class=\"container\">\n\n        <div class=\"flex flex-wrap md:justify-center md:items-center lg:px-112\">\n      <div class=\"w-full md:w-6\/12 pl-12 pr-20\">\n        <div class=\"rounded-5 md:rounded-8 bg-yellow\">\n          <div class=\"relative w-full h-256 sm:h-320 md:h-440 rounded-5 md:rounded-8 transform -translate-y-10 translate-x-8 md:-translate-y-18 md:translate-x-16 overflow-hidden\">\n\n                                      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"adhere object-cover\" src=\"\/media\/osteopathic\/images\/students-in-group-around-unseen-body-dsc01410.jpg\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 100vw\" alt=\"COMP students in ISAC inspect and disect the back of a donor in Gross Anatomy Lab Thursday, June 17, 2021.\">\n                                                    <app-modal-button modal-id=\"callout-video-left-4295952\" class=\"adhere flex justify-center items-center group\" data-ga-category=\"video\" data-ga-label=\"embed\">\n                <span class=\"sr-only\">Open video modal<\/span>\n                <span class=\"block w-80 h-80 p-20 bg-red-light group-hover:bg-red text-white rounded-full transition-default\">\n                  <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M8 5v14l11-7z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/app-modal-button>\n            \n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"md:w-6\/12 mt-40 md:mt-0 px-12 md:pb-40 md:pl-40 xl:pl-80\">\n                  \t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"text-lockup text-lockup--default\">\n\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t-h2-serif  block text-red-light\">Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t-h2-sans  block text-red\">California &amp; Oregon<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg-content t-p2 mt-24 text-black\">Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) see patients, prescribe medications, perform surgeries, and deliver babies in hospitals, medical centers, and offices across the United States and overseas.
