Student Support Services
Medical school isn’t limited to the classroom; it should provide a well-rounded and rewarding academic experience.
Student support is at the core of the Commonwealth University College of Medicine’s mission. The CUCOM offers a wide range of services that ensure that the University is in partnership with each student during his or her academic journey. The university has dozens of opportunities for our students to expand their medical education beyond the confines of their lectures and textbooks.

Office Of Career Guidance And Development (OCGD)
The CUCOM’s Office of Career Guidance and Development (OCGD) assists medical students navigate through postgraduate medical training and licensure procedures successfully and effectively. The office is staffed by faculty and alumni who can advise students on preparing for licensing examinations and offer counselling in specialty and residency selection, as well as the residency application process in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Housing Facility
When you’re in medical school, you need a place to call home. We recognize the fact that students are staying away from their home and traditional support systems and will require the institution to provide a supportive and nurturing environment.
CUCOM offers both on-campus housing and selected third-party housing units— apartments with the comforts of home. We have a diverse selection of housing options available for students.
