  1. ΣΣΦ Sigma Chapter Annual Report 2009 Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine

  2. Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine • Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine (PCSOM) is the 19th school of osteopathic medicine in the country. • PCSOM is located in central Appalachia, the eastern part of Kentucky. The panoramic scenes of hills and valleys have contributed to the often isolated, rural background of this region. • Demographic and economic data reveal rates higher than state and national levels for unemployment, work disability, poverty, Medicaid, uninsured and mortality for all ages. Nearly 6.8% of the population is unemployed, which is 150% above the national norm and 49.2% have less than a high school education.
