Deciding to Become a DO

The path to medical school can take you in directions you never imagined. Some medical students take a straight path and some experience curves along the way. Wherever your journey points, consider Kansas City University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM) your destination.

Student Doctor D’Angeleau Newsome was accepted to KCU-COM after he graduated from KCU College of Biosciences. He shares insights into his path and is an inspiration to future med students. Learn more about D’Angeleau’s journey here:

Established more than 100 years ago, KCU is the fifth largest medical school in the country with two campuses located in Kansas City and Joplin, Mo. KCU-COM graduates earn a doctoral degree in osteopathic medicine (DO) and go on to achieve successful careers in all specialties at leading hospitals and practices across the country. Our College of Biosciences is also a starting point for many future medical students or scientists.
