Student Testimonials

Hear in their own words what drew them to OUM, how their studies are progressing, and what they enjoy most about the University.

  • General Principles proved a rigorous, eye‑opening introduction to medicine, with learning materials and exam questions that matched the depth and quality I’d expect at any U.S. school.

    General Principles proved a rigorous, eye‑opening introduction to medicine, with learning materials and exam questions that matched the depth and quality I’d expect at any U.S. school. Even though our classrooms are virtual, nothing is watered down; we still tackle NBME/USMLE board‑style cases and complex topics without cutting corners. If you aren’t prepared to be an independent learner and work, you’ll rapidly find yourself falling behind. Time management and using the resources provided by the school is key to staying caught up and doing well on exams. The faculty also make a HUGE difference.

  • I love that OUM allows me to organize my study schedule in a flexible way that accommodates my personal and professional obligations.

    I love that OUM allows me to organize my study schedule in a flexible way that accommodates my personal and professional obligations. I am thrilled to be in a medical program that facilitates and supports me in my journey to becoming a physician. OUM was my number one choice of medical schools to attend and I would recommend this program to any prospective students.

  • Enrolling at OUM has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made.

    Enrolling at OUM has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. It has allowed me to follow my dream profession while maintaining the flexibility to work part-time and indulge in other passions and hobbies. Now immersing myself in system-based modules, I especially enjoy the case discussions that enable me to connect with fellow students while also having a platform to apply the knowledge I have gained to real-life scenarios. It is a bridge between theory and practice that I truly value.

  • OUM re-ignited my passion for medicine.

    OUM re-ignited my passion for medicine. I am now doing my system-based modules and I have managed to juggle my small business, a young family, and my studies. I do burn the midnight oil, but for me the flexibility is what has allowed this to be possible. OUM recognizes the need for flexibility for late bloomers like myself, and in this way is affording me and my colleagues a chance at achieving this dream.

Student Support Programs

Assuring student success is an OUM cornerstone and the University’s medical student Advisory Programs take the lead in guiding and supporting students toward their goal. Students may begin working with Student Success Advisors early during their pre-clinical coursework. Research Advisors also guide students through their required research project.
