Burrell College of Health Sciences

Osteopathic medical education institution awarding D.O.

Overview

Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine in Las Cruces, NM, grants the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree and provides medical education through a public-private partnership with New Mexico State University. Students enroll in the D.O. program, study preclinical coursework, and complete clinical rotations to earn the degree and enter residency, supported by a 100% GME placement rate. Revenue comes from tuition and related fees, funding the college’s educational and clinical training programs. Its partnership with a public university and a focused osteopathic curriculum differentiate it from other regional medical schools, with the goal of training physicians ready for residency and clinical practice in New Mexico and beyond.
