Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) is a private, for-profit osteopathic medical school. Founded in 2016, ICOM is located at the Meridian campus of Idaho State University (ISU).[1] At ICOM, students can earn a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree.[1]
History
Before ICOM was established, Idaho was the most populous state without a medical school of its own. Although Idaho is among the most rapidly growing areas of the country, the state ranks 49th in physicians per capita.[2] In December 2017 COCA granted ICOM pre-accreditation status and authorized the recruitment of 162 students. ICOM's inaugural class matriculated in August 2018.[3] This class went on to have a 100% residency match rate[4] and graduated in May 2022,[5] coinciding with ICOM's elevation to full accreditation status by COCA.[6]
Campus
Located in Meridian, Idaho, the three-story, 94,000-square-foot facility cost $34 million, and took Engineered Structures, Inc. (ESI) just thirteen months to build. Dekker/Perich/Sabatini, a New Mexico-based architecture firm, did the design.[7]
ICOM's campus includes more than 12,000 feet of classroom space, including: two lecture halls, each with 250 seats; a clinical simulation center; a 3,500-square-foot medical library; and a 3,479-square-foot osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) Lab. Additionally, 12 Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) rooms are located on the second floor.[7]
ICOM has a 40-year agreement with Idaho State University-Meridian for use of its Treasure Valley Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory (TVAPL). There, ICOM's first-year medical students perform whole-body dissections on donated bodies, also known as cadavers.[8]
Academics
As a free-standing medical school, ICOM only offers graduate-level training. ICOM awards the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (DO). This is a four-year degree with years 1 and 2 consisting of on-campus didactic lectures, small group assignments laboratory and clinical experiences. Years 3 and 4 are completed at selected clinical sites.[9]
Student life
Students participate in several organizations and interest committees on campus. There are more than 30 student organizations represented on campus, ranging from national, professional and general interest.[10]
