AN ACT relating to comprehensive universities.

This bill would allow Eastern Kentucky University to offer a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree, a professional degree required to become a licensed osteopathic physician. Currently, EKU does not have the legal authority to grant this type of degree, and this change would expand the university's program offerings in healthcare education. Who it may affect: students pursuing careers in medicine, Eastern Kentucky University, and communities that may benefit from increased access to osteopathic physicians.
