Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine?

PCOM students should use the college's public safety and emergency-reporting procedures for concerns on campus. The most useful documents for checking current arrangements are PCOM's emergency instructions and its annual security report, which describes reportable incidents and applicable campus safety policies.

Prospective students should identify how to report an immediate emergency, receive campus alerts, and report sexual misconduct or seek support through the institution's Title IX process. They should also check whether an escort, after-hours access procedure, or other service applies at the Philadelphia campus rather than assuming a service offered at one PCOM location exists at another.

Campus crime figures, when reviewed, require context: an annual security report covers specified categories, locations, and reporting years. It is not a complete measure of every risk a student might encounter at school, while commuting, or at a clinical site.
