Digest, the magazine for alumni and friends of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, promotes the mission of PCOM through the communication of news and information about the College as a whole, including its achievements, programs, faculty, staff and alumni. Feature stories advance the work of osteopathic physicians, health practitioners and behavioral scientists, highlighting their scholarship, research and leadership. This collection includes Digests from 1927 to the present.
The library's collection is quite incomplete between the 1920's and 1940's. We would welcome the opportunity to digitize missing issues held by alumni, other individuals and institutions. If you can help, please email us at library@pcom.edu.
