Clinical Faculty | Preceptor Resources
The Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine is proud to have longstanding partnerships with physicians across the state of Ohio who support undergraduate medical education for Heritage College medical students. Our network of clinical faculty and preceptors are an essential part of the Heritage College and we are incredibly grateful for their commitment to training future osteopathic physicians. These exceptional contributions to undergraduate medical education and the meaningful mentorship provided to our students exemplify the competencies and subtleties of being a physician today and play a crucial role in training the osteopathic physicians of Ohio for tomorrow.
