Since 1899, PCOM has trained highly competent, caring physicians, health
practitioners and behavioral scientists who practice a “whole person”
approach to care - treating people, not just symptoms. As the field of
medicine has changed, we have changed - adapting our program offerings to
better meet the needs of healthcare providers and the communities they
serve. At the main campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PCOM), the branch
campus in Suwanee, Georgia (PCOM Georgia), and our newest location in
Moultrie, Georgia (PCOM South Georgia), PCOM students learn to approach
problem solving in a more professional, more team-oriented manner, which
prepares them to work successfully in integrated healthcare settings with
other health professionals.

At PCOM, we espouse to grow a culturally competent workforce to advance
medicine that touches the lives of underserved communities. Diversity,
equity and inclusion is the core component of our institutional identity, a
key pillar of PCOM’s strategic vision and is crucial to the intellectual
vitality of the campus community. Therefore, we also encourage applicants
who identify as members of underrepresented populations to apply.  It is
through freedom of exchange over different ideas and viewpoints in
supportive environments that our graduates develop the critical thinking
and citizenship skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
