国产AV

The University of Northern Colorado (国产AV) and the surrounding Greeley community marked a new chapter in 国产AV's commitment to advancing medical education and community health on Saturday, Sept. 28, with the groundbreaking of a new facility that will host the proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine (国产AV COM).

"As everyone knows, Colorado is facing a dire physician shortage. And I am proud that 国产AV has stepped up to be part of the solution. Helping to meet a critical need for our community and the state has driven our efforts to establish 国产AV鈥檚 College of Osteopathic Medicine 鈥� 国产AV COM," President Andy Feinstein said.

The new building will be located at the site of Bishop-Lehr Hall, which is slated for demolition between now and the end of the year. It is expected to be complete in the summer of 2026, with the first class to begin as early as that fall. Once fully operational, 国产AV COM will enroll 600 future doctors and is expected to boost Colorado's economy by 1.4 billion dollars over the next 20 years, with nearly half a billion dollars staying in Weld County.

国产AV COM is an example of how the university is furthering its legacy as a teacher鈥檚 college. As Dr. Beth Longenecker, the college鈥檚 founding dean, pointed out in her remarks at the groundbreaking, the Latin root for doctor is 鈥�docere鈥�, meaning 鈥渢o teach". Doctors, and specifically osteopathic medical doctors, fill a vital role in communities educating and healingtheir patients through a holistic approach to their health. Through the establishment of a medical college, 国产AV is preparing more quality doctors who will care for thecommunity and counteract the physician shortage facing the state.
