The Office of Student Affairs provides a nurturing and supportive environment to prepare students for the demands of a career in Osteopathic Medicine. We strive to cultivate an environment of respect, inclusion, diversity, excellence and service. Creating a trusting and caring culture is at the heart of the Office’s mission.

In addition to coordinating events, services and programs to support the mission and values of CHSU-COM, and promote personal and professional growth, its services include: student activities, student life, academic support, disability services, health and wellness, and more. The Office can also provide referrals to campus and community resources, and handle student concerns.

Through the Office of Student Affairs, students will find connections to the community as they become engaged in service projects, community outreach events, and academic programs and presentations that will serve to enrich their medical school experience.
