COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE

The University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine was founded in 1978 on a beautiful coastal

campus in southern Maine. It is the only osteopathic medical school in New England. The college currently

enrolls approximately 700 medical students, about half of whom come from the six-state New England region

and the rest from other U.S. states and a number of foreign countries. To date, the college has graduated more

than 3,500 osteopathic physicians.

The College of Osteopathic Medicine emphasizes the education of primary care physicians. More than 60 % of

its graduates go on to practice in the primary care specialties. The college has a 2+2 curriculum: two years of

didactic training, followed by two years of clinical clerkships. The College of Osteopathic Medicine is committed

to meeting the challenge of training physicians for the 21st century.

The medical school is housed in the 80,000-square-foot Harold Alfond Center for Health Sciences, a modern

science education facility and a major medical and health sciences resource for the region. The Pickus Center for

Biomedical Research, with its Cécile Morgane Research Laboratories, offers students and faculty exceptional

facilities for conducting research. Leonard Hall is an educational facility offering the latest in state-of-the-art

educational technology that allows for case-based learning and other innovative educational learning experiences.

The University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine is accredited by the American

Osteopathic Association.

THE POMP BEHIND THE CIRCUMSTANCE Academic Regalia

THE GOWN

The history of the academic gown goes back to the 12th century. During this period, everyone — both men

and women, royalty, lay folk, clerics, tradesmen, students — wore long flowing robes. The apparel varied in

elegance according to the rank and wealth of the owner, from simple rough worsteds to rich gold brocades

wrought with tassels and trimmed with colorful velvet and rich furs. It was in this period that the first

organized bodies of learning were formed. From the gowns worn in the “universities” of the period have

evolved the academic costumes of today.

The bachelor’s gown is a simple design falling straight from a rather elaborate yoke with long pointed sleeves.

The gown worn by a master has long, closed, somewhat fuller sleeves, which reach nearly to the wearer’s

knees. The arms go through slits at the elbow, giving the appearance of short sleeves. The doctoral gown is cut

much fuller and has large bell-shaped sleeves. The gowns are usually, but not always, black, and those of

bachelors and masters are generally devoid of ornamentation. The doctoral gowns are distinguished by the

five-inch velvet panel around the neck and down both sides of the front as well as by three-inch velvet bars

sewn on each sleeve. The color of the velvet trim may be black or may indicate the nature of the degree. For

example, the color designating a Doctor of Medicine is green.

THE HOOD

The hood seems to have had a somewhat practical origin. Medieval monks used their hood for two purposes: to

protect their shaved heads in the winter and as a container in which to collect alms.

Today the hood serves as the most symbolic part of the academic regalia by which the observer can ascertain the

wearer’s level and kind of degree. The bachelor’s hood is the smallest, being three feet long. The velvet trim along

the edges, indicating the nature of the degree, is two inches wide. The master’s hood is six inches longer and

bears a three-inch velvet trim.

The doctoral hood presented today is a full four feet long and exhibits a five-inch, green velvet trim indicating

the medical degree.

The colorful interior of the hood, visible from behind, indicates by hue the degree-granting institution.

The University of New England’s colors are blue and grey.

OSTEOPATHIC OATH

I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter. I will be mindful always of my great responsibility

to preserve the health and life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect both as a physician and a

friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional

duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my

skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature’s laws and the body’s inherent capacity for recovery.

I will be ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not

engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. I will

give no drugs for deadly purposes to any person, though it be asked of me.

I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation and never by word

or act cast imputations upon them or their rightful practices.

I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college I will be loyal and

strive always for its best interests and for the interests of the students who will come after me.

I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic truths to the healing arts and to develop the

principles of osteopathy, which were first enunciated by Andrew Taylor Still.

In the presence of this gathering, I bind myself to my oath.
