Affiliations
Independent, But Not Isolated
OCPM is an independent college of podiatric medicine with all the advantages of an academic health science center. As an independent college of medicine, we retain our autonomy over budgetary decisions and resource allocations without the need to support other programs of study.
Q: Why is our tuition the most reasonable?
A: All of our resources go to support the podiatric medical program.
Our location within the Cleveland medical community allows the college to foster several educational affiliations, thus expanding the resources available to our students. Below is an overview of the affiliations available to our students.
