Ohio College Of Podiatric Medicine Opens New Campus


The Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine officially opens doors to OCPM students and the podiatric community.

After a two year process of obtaining the former Realty One building and transforming the 115,000 square foot facility into a podiatric medical education institution, the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine has completed its historic transition of moving from University Circle to Independence, Ohio. Construction began with a groundbreaking ceremony in September of 2006 for the 7,000 square foot, 300-seat lecture hall addition.

Today, students have the luxury of learning podiatric medicine in a state-of-the-art medical facility situated on 27-acres of wooded land that can rival any medical college in the country. With its high-tech caliber laboratories and equipment, newly created computer learning and media center, enhanced library and study rooms, upgraded school cafeteria, and renovated administrative office spaces, the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine is positioned to become the leader in podiatric medical education for the 21st century.

“When you see were we came from and where we are today, it is a complete “180” and a milestone for OCPM,” says Thomas V. Melillo, DPM, President of OCPM. “Our students, alumni, and the podiatric community will learn, conduct research, and apply podiatric medicine in a first-class, highly sophisticated manner never before seen in the 91-year history of the college. We are very excited to be in our new home in Independence and are looking forward to a great future for OCPM”.


One of eight accredited podiatry schools in the United States, the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine is a private, four-year graduate level medical college granting the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. Founded in 1916, OCPM has graduated over 5,000 podiatrists who have made outstanding contributions to the field and study of podiatric medicine. Currently, OCPM maintains an average 4-year school enrollment of 300-400 students and graduates 75-100 podiatrists a year. Students come from a wide range of geographic locations throughout the world to attend OCPM and to one day become doctors of podiatric medicine.
