Patient Care Supervision Policy                 

Noorda-COM prepares students to become Osteopathic Physicians, trained to look at each individual person as a whole. This holistic approach to medical care trains students to integrate the patient into the healthcare process as a partner.

Noorda-COM’s curriculum includes required clinical experiences in a variety of clinical learning environments. The role of the Noorda-COM student is to participate in patient care in ways that are appropriate for the student’s level of training, experience and the clinical situation.
