by Jonathan Bruner, D.O., Director of Osteopathic Curriculum | May 16, 2022

Osteopathic philosophy courses at Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (COMs) can generally follow one of two paths.

At Kaplan, we have the unique ability to offer a wide range of content that provides the highest standard of osteopathic institutional support to eliminate any issues. Our goal continues to be to find ways to help support our partner institutions during this time of growth.

by Elijah Schwartz, MSEd, MS, BCBA-candidate, Senior Learning Strategist, Kaplan North America | March 9, 2022

Nowhere is that drive to add value, immediacy, and active coaching more apparent than in Kaplan’s relaunch of prep for Dental (DAT) and Optometry (OAT) exams. But what will these new courses look like for students?
What’s the Future of Residency Interviews for International Medical Students?
