Enrollment Rises in Osteopathic Medical Schools

Enrollments in schools of osteopathic medicine rose by 4.5 percent this fall, and first-year enrollment grew by 2.9 percent, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine announced Thursday. Like their peers in allopathic medical schools, osteopathic schools are striving to increase their rolls to help meet what some health care experts say is a shortage of qualified medical professionals.
