About

A.T. Still University (ATSU) is the founding institution of osteopathic healthcare, established in 1892 by Andrew Taylor Still. As a leading health sciences university, ATSU is comprised of two campuses (Kirksville, Mo., and Mesa, Ariz.) on more than 200 acres with six prestigious schools. Learning environments include residential and online healthcare related graduate degrees as well as community-based partnerships worldwide. ATSU has more than 700 employees dedicated to its not-for-profit mission and an average annual enrollment of over 3,100 students from 35 countries.

ATSU is renowned for its preeminence as a multidisciplinary healthcare educator. The University is focused on integrating the founding tenets of osteopathic medicine and the advancing knowledge of today's science. ATSU continually earns distinctions as the graduate health sciences university with best-in-class curriculum and a community outreach mission to serve the underserved. The University has a rich history of leadership in both healthcare education and correlated research.

ATSU instills within students the compassion, experience and knowledge required to address the whole person and shape healthcare in communities where needs are greatest. Inspired to influence whole person healthcare, ATSU graduates contribute to the future of integrated care while also leading with a selfless passion in the communities they serve. 


Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCOM):

The DO program at ATSU-KCOM has students on-campus for their first two years, participating in the basic science courses of Anatomy, Histology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Neurology, etc.  During the third and fourth years the students are involved in clinical rotations that have been set up at sites in Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah.  Through a lottery system, students rank their choice of rotation site in order of one through six, before the official match is determined.  For more information on clinical rotations please visit: http://www.atsu.edu/kcom/clinical_rotations/index.htm.


KCOM Master’s in Biomedical Sciences (MBS) Program:

The MBS program is an affordable program designed to develop skills in research along with a focus on a specialized area of biomedical study. The program is appropriate for students who wish to obtain a master’s level biomedical education in a medical school environment, or who wish to strengthen their credentials for professional school, such as our DMD or DO program. The MBS program provides opportunities for research activities, presentations, thesis writing, and thesis defense, in addition to course work inbiochemistry and other courses that are taken with medical students in the DO program.  Our application cycle opens in November, with the deadline to submit your application being March 1st. 

School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (SOMA):

The DO program at ATSU-SOMA allows hands-on patient care much earlier than most medical schools.  The curriculum is centered on the Clinical Presentation Model, which holds that there are approximately 120 different ways that patients present with symptoms to physicians.  Students spend the first year on campus learning in-depth responses to these presentations in small groups, using real-life patient interaction and simulated patient experiences.  For the second, third, and fourth years, students will be placed in small groups to learn in one of the designated Community Campuses across the nation.  These centers provide comprehensive, coordinated primary care services through 5,000 clinics in the United States.  ATSU and the National Association of Community Health Centers are partnering to provide early contextual learning experiences in a community-focused environment.  For more information on the Community Health Centers please visit:  http://www.atsu.edu/soma/medschool_future/community_health_centers.htm
