The Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine (LUCOM) was established in 2014 as part of Liberty University, founded by Jerry Falwell in 1971, and enrolled its first class in 2014. It is fully accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) and awards the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree. LUCOM is best known for its mission-driven approach, integrating osteopathic principles, a Christian worldview, and an emphasis on primary care and rural and underserved medicine.
LUCOM is located in Lynchburg, Virginia, in a modern medical education building adjacent to Liberty University's main campus. Students participate in small-group learning, simulation labs, osteopathic manipulative medicine training, and a robust clinical rotation network across Virginia and other states. The student community is closely knit, with strong emphasis on spiritual formation, community service, and medical missions, supported by extensive student organizations and mission trips.
