The Tom and Julie Wood College of Osteopathic Medicine[4] (also known by its old abbreviation MUCOM) is the medical school of Marian University, a private Roman Catholic university in Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in 2010, it was the first osteopathic medical school to open at a Roman Catholic university and the first medical school to open in Indiana in over 100 years.[5] It is the only other medical school in the state besides the allopathic nine-campus Indiana University School of Medicine system.

The college is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA).[6][3] Medical graduates of the college receive a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.).[3][7]
