Since everyone keeps making wild claims about religion and embryology classes.....Here Is text from the student handbook.....everything will be covered
"Year-One
Phase One (BBHDI-1) comprises the first six weeks of the curriculum in the first year of
osteopathic medical education. BBDHI-1 consists of a single course: Biomedical
Foundations of Osteopathic Medicine (BFOM). Students are introduced to fundamental
principles, concepts, and mechanisms important to the biological consideration of health
and disease. Traditional biomedical science disciplines of molecular and cellular biology,
genetics and developmental biology, histology and anatomy, neuroscience, physiology,
microbiology and immunology, pathology, and pharmacology are considered in an
integrated, interdisciplinary fashion. This course focuses on general principles and
mechanisms that are fundamental and common to the biomedical considerations of health
and disease processes. The BFOM course provides the foundation upon which the
remainder of the BBHDI curriculum and learning is built throughout the preclinical years
of education.
Phase Two (BBHDI-2) extends through the remainder of the OMS-I year and consists of
a series of six courses organized predominantly by body regions/system, and a final
course that introduces and develops concepts and principles of public health,
epidemiology, and clinical research. A study of traditional medical science disciplines
(molecular and cellular biology, genetics, biochemistry, developmental biology and
embryology, histology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology and immunology, pathology,
and pharmacology) are integrated into the system-based courses. This phase emphasizes
normal structure-function relationships and the principles, mechanisms, and processes of
the human body that are important for the maintenance and promotion of health in
individuals as well as populations. In the context of abnormal structure-function
relationships, basic principles and mechanisms of disease processes and the rationale for
approaches to intervention are introduced as well. The final course, Population Based
Medicine, offers an overview and understanding of principles and practice of public
health, classical and clinical epidemiology, general types of clinical research studies..."
