The division of Clinical Sciences is pleased to announce that James Nolin, PhD, FNP-C, and Gregory T. Jacobs, DO, DTM&H, FACEP, FAAEM, have been appointed to new administrative roles in Clinical Simulation.

Dr. Nolin has been named director of Clinical Simulation. He recently earned his Doctorate of Philosophy in Nursing Education from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. He will continue his role as instructor of Primary Clinical Skills while bringing his expertise as a board-certified family nurse practitioner and 26 years of military service to this leadership position.

Dr. Jacobs has been appointed interim medical director of Clinical Simulation. A board-certified emergency physician with 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Jacobs also serves as assistant professor of Emergency Medicine at ACOM. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Nolin and Dr. Jacobs as we support them in their new roles.

In October 2024, at the Southern Medical Association’s (SMA) Annual Scientific Assembly in Atlanta, GA., four ACOM students were awarded second place in their SMArt Bowl competition.

This Jeopardy-style academic competition consisted of teams of four medical students and/or residents from various programs. The SMA website describes the SMArt Bowl as “a fun-filled and adrenaline-fueled in-person competition to compete and test you and your team’s medical knowledge”.

The team of ACOM students consisted of Alison Hollenbaugh, Stephanie Gonzalez, Julee Reitzel, and Ross Thompson. They secured second place over teams made up of students from PCOM-GA and a group of residents, before narrowly losing in “Final Jeopardy”, to a talented group of international medicine residents. Notably, the ACOM team actually had the highest point total going into Final Jeopardy.

The students are proud of their performance and hope to compete again in the 2025 competition, later this year.

In advance of Match Day on March 21, the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM) is pleased to announce the early military match results for members of the class of 2025. These 12 students’ commitment to serving their country parallels their passion for helping others, which has been apparent throughout their medical education at ACOM.

In the spring of each year, Match Day signifies the shift to a new phase of a medical student’s education: residency. Medical residency is a multi-year program with intensive training in a specific area of medical care. In their final year of medical school, students apply for and interview with residency programs where they may want to continue their training. The students and programs rank each other respectively through the National Residency Match Program, which runs a computerized algorithm to determine the match. Those match results are revealed on Match Day. Certain programs, such as those associated with the military, complete their match processes separately and announce those results in advance.

ACOM is proud to announce the following military match results and we look forward to celebrating the entire class of 2025 on Match Day in March.
