Lebanon, OR—Today, Governor Kate Brown addressed 104 new doctors of osteopathic medicine graduating from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific Northwest (COMP Northwest).
"This is a place where, through a potent mixture of caffeine, adrenaline, and perspiration, you are transformed from a regular person to a doctor of osteopathic medicine. The way forward is illuminated by this noble calling: to preserve and improve people's life and health," Governor Brown said.
"You depart these halls today into a world that desperately needs your brains, your energy, and your dedication to create a more ethical, compassionate, and inclusive world. Health care is a huge part of that."
COMP Northwest is the second medical school campus of the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, which is the medical school of Western University of Health Sciences (WesternU), in Pomona, Calif.
