Baptist Health Sciences University College of Osteopathic Medicine - BUCOM

The Baptist Health Sciences University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine (BUCOM) is part of a 115-year history of education and health care in the Mid-South area. With its launch in 2024, BUCOM will provide an exemplary model of education that prepares physicians who integrate the art and science of healing with their faith, calling, and pursuit of excellence.

BUCOM aims to train future physicians and scientists who are committed to improving the health of the diverse populations in the Mid-South Region of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi with special emphasis on primary care in urban, underserved, and rural areas. Baptist Memorial Health Care (BMHC) is the clinical partner for BUCOM students and provides learning opportunities across their comprehensive network of 22 hospitals, cancer care network, fitness and rehabilitation centers, urgent care clinics, imaging centers, ambulatory services, and a large and diverse physician network.
