Oceania University of Medicine
Oceania University of Medicine (OUM) is a public-private, for-profit medical school located in the South Pacific in Oceania. The medical school was founded in 2002 and is located on the island nation of Samoa. OUM was created by philanthropist Taffy Gould, a handful of Australian doctors, and several others to fill a void, a shortage of medical personnel in the South Pacific area. Due to Samoa's and the surrounding islands' remote location, an online curriculum with local physician mentors evolved. It became clear that aspiring phsycians in other areas around the world were experiencing similar barriers in pursuing a medical degree due to geographical isolation and/or personal commitments. Soon OUM began receiving applications from all over the world. The OUM curriculum is divided into two phases, preclinical and clinical. The preclinical phase is offered via distance learning while the clinical phases offers hands on learning in a clinical setting at regional teaching hospitals.
== History ==
Oceania University of Medicine (OUM) operates under a charter executed by the Government of Independent Samoa (formerly Western Samoa), as an autonomous statutory corporation operating in partnership with the Samoan government, represented by the Prime Minister. The school’s authority derives from the Oceania University of Medicine Act, ratified by the Parliament of Samoa in January 2002. e-Medical Education, LLC, an international software and health science education company, operates OUM as part of the agreement.
The mission of Oceania University of Medicine is to produce physicians with the requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes to improve the health of underserved communities in Oceania and beyond, via traditional and innovative instructional modalities to help individuals overcome distance, personal and professional barriers to realize their calling to the medical profession. OUM students are required to complete at least one four week clinical rotation at OUM's home in the South Pacific. Clerkships are available in the nation of Independent Samoa and the US territory of American Samoa. Just west of the Dateline, in Independent Samoa, two-thirds of the country’s population lives on the largest island, Upolu, which is also where the capital, Apia, and national hospital are located. The National Hospital is in the village of Motootua, a suburb of Apia. Available student housing is located within walking distance of the health complex. Located east of Independent Samoa and the International Dateline is American Samoa. The capital Pago Pago, is home to LBJ Tropical Medical Center which also hosts OUM students from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries.
