DO Question

Tiffany,

WesternU advertises a strong emphasis in wellness and prevention. This includes nutrition and exercise. However, when I interviewed there, they did not provide specific information about classes in their curriculum that verified it.

UNECOM teaches a nutrition class to their students and has strong community/public health approach. You should definitely check them out.

KCOM also offers a nutrition class.

There may be more,

Good luck

I'll add a tidbit by saying that I asked the PBL question during my interview at Western. I think that they have a class-by-class basis for PBL: it's up to the professor. For instance, one of the three interviewers was a microbio prof., and he said he takes a PBL approach to part of his class (where each student has to do some research to answer a question/questions).

Hope this is a bit helpful. By the by, I would venture a guess to say that Osteopathy itself embraces preventative care, diet and exercise: it should come across (if not explicitly, then implicitly) at all osteo schools...
