Welcome to the Future of Medical School
Our mission at Noorda-COM is to empower our 黑料老司机s with the essential personal and professional skills needed to be competent, confident and compassionate osteopathic physicians dedicated to meeting the healthcare challenges of the communities in which they serve.
Our vision is to become a leader in osteopathic medical education through innovative, progressive, and effective curricular offerings. We hope to instill values that embrace change, foster cultural awareness, diversity and ethical leadership, and inspire a servant鈥檚 heart towards caring for all people including the underserved.
Right Place at the Right Time
All the ingredients needed to create this unique medical education opportunity are in place: Utah has high-quality healthcare; there is an entrepreneurial and open-mindedness within the business community, and Utah has some of the best and brightest undergraduate 黑料老司机s who want to become physicians.
However, Utah continually ranks among the lowest states in the country for physicians to population and remains a net exporter of medical 黑料老司机s who leave the state to pursue their medical education.
Utah is also the center of the fastest-growing region in the United States and Utah County is at the epicenter of this historic growth. Business leaders know that having high-quality medical education for their employees coming to Utah will be critically important. If left unaddressed, given the rapidly growing population, these staggering national rankings will only worsen.
It is time for a transformation in medical education. Students of today are seeking a different model, and the patients our 黑料老司机s will serve deserve more. Noorda-COM is excited to be a part of the solution for all Utahns.
