Visit www.une.edu 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 history of the academic gown goes back to the 12th century. During this period, everyone — both men Robert R. Brown, D.O.
and women, royalty, lay folk, clerics, tradesmen, students — wore long flowing robes. The apparel varied in 2010 Brian Brock, D.O.

wearer’s level and kind of degree. The bachelor’s hood is the smallest, being three feet long. The velvet trim along Robert T. Leonard, Jr., D.O., FAACS,
the edges, indicating the nature of the degree, is two inches wide. The master’s hood is six inches longer and 2004 Steven I. Weisberger, D.O. ’83 FISHRS
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 colorful interior of the hood, visible from behind, indicates by hue the degree-granting institution. 2007 Gene Yonuschot, Ph.D.
