More Than Medical School.
A Purpose-Driven Path to Becoming a Physician.
Something historic is happening at Xavier University. For the first time ever, the transformative power of Jesuit formation and the whole-person philosophy of osteopathic medicine are coming together in one place, for one purpose: to form the most complete physicians of their generation. You chose medicine because you felt called to something bigger. XUCOM was built for that calling. The inaugural Class of 2031 will be the first to experience medicine this way. This is your moment.

The Xavier Difference
You deserve a medical education that sees you as a whole person, not just a student in a seat. Every element of XUCOM was designed with your growth, your purpose and your future in mind.
First-of-its-kind Formation
There is no other program like this in the world. XUCOM brings together its centuries-old Jesuit tradition of forming leaders of character with the osteopathic commitment to treating the whole person. You will graduate not only prepared to practice medicine, but also to lead it.
Cincinnati Clinical Certainty
Your clinical training matters as much as your classroom learning. That is why 120% of required clinical rotations are already secured locally, right here in Cincinnati. You will know exactly where you're training, with world-class partners, in a city that feels like home.
A Curriculum Built Around Your Purpose
At XUCOM, the curriculum goes beyond what you need to know. It is designed around who you are becoming. You will build clinical excellence and develop your professional identity, your ethical foundation and your personal sense of purpose alongside every lesson, every rotation and every patient encounter.
Support for You as a Whole Person
Medical school is demanding. XUCOM was built knowing that. You will have dedicated board prep, faculty mentors invested in your success, interprofessional training alongside Xavier nursing students, wellness resources, and a one of a kind teaching kitchen that connects nutrition and medicine. You are supported here at every stage of the journey.
Built on a Foundation You Can Trust
Xavier already boasts a medical school acceptance rate double the national average for our undergraduates. Our tradition of excellence in health sciences spans decades. And our Jesuit Catholic identity — as men and women for and with others — has guided the University for nearly 200 years. XUCOM carries all of that forward into something entirely new. When you choose Xavier, you are choosing a program with the heart of a mission and the strength of a legacy behind it.
