Brand Showcase
- The Office of Communications recently worked with Lauren Borovicka, program manager for COMCorps, the Heritage College's AmeriCorps program, to develop a promotional plan and materials for the program's latest annual member recruitment campaign. Materials including a poster, an electronic kiosk ad and a radio spot contributed to COMCorps' being able to recruit its needed allotment of applicants well within its time frame.
- For an April 20 Founders Day celebration at the Ohio Statehouse, in connection with the college's 40th anniversary, the Office of Communication developed a number of items, including a full-page ad that ran in the spring issue of Ohio magazine. To members of the Ohio Osteopathic Association, who had supported the college financially when it was created in 1975, the college sent a founder's lapel pin, a personalized letter of thanks from Executive Dean Kenneth Johnson, D.O., and a copy of the latest issue of our Ohio University Medicine magazine. These items raised awareness of the college's four decades of positive impact on the state of Ohio.

Faculty, staff hear latest on curriculum revision
On June 16, Heritage College faculty and staff heard an update on the progress a college team is making toward revising the college's pre-clinical curriculum. In a brown bag discussion session shared with all three campuses and some clinical campuses, members of the Pre-Clinical Curriculum Transformation Team shared information about their proposed changes in multiple areas, including:
- the structure of the new curriculum;
- strategies for assessing student mastery of material being taught; and
- ways to organize learning activities so they support an integrated, competency-based curriculum; encourage active learning; give students enough time to explore electives; and keep the Heritage College at the forefront of osteopathic medical education.
For those unable to attend the session, a recording is available here. The team invites feedback through a one-question survey here. Access requires a university login.
When the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation awarded the college an historic $105 million gift in 2011, one specified purpose for the money was the transformation of the college's primary care curricula. In pursuit of that goal, the Heritage College assembled the Curriculum Transformation Team, which has been meeting since August 2014.
The new curriculum will be implemented in fall 2018 to ensure adequate time for curriculum design; engaging faculty, staff, and students; and obtaining necessary approvals from the university and accrediting body. The college's last big curriculum restructuring was in 1999, when it launched its Clinical Presentation Continuum track.
