PROVO As Utah County s first medical school welcomes its inaugural class of 90 students next week, leaders say they anticipate the college will eventually launch dozens of new doctors into underserved and rural areas throughout the state. Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine in Provo which has been in the works for nine years seeks to provide a unique approach to training doctors for the future of medicine, including telemedicine. Dr. John Dougherty, founding dean and chief academic officer, said the college is flipping education on its head, in particular medical education. A nontraditional approach Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine, or Noorda-COM, will not offer scheduled classes, Dougherty said. Instead, students will be able to view videos pre-recorded by instructors whenever works best for them in pod rooms with comfortable arm chairs and couches. Students will still learn, practice and get assessed in anatomy and hands-on skills in labs.
