The OUM curriculum is divided into two phases: preclinical and clinical. OUM students are required to pass USMLE Step 1 or an international equivalent prior to advancing to clinical rotations. The preclinical phase is offered via distance learning while the clinical phases offers hands-on learning in a clinical settings at regional teaching hospitals.

The medical school was founded in 2002 by philanthropist Taffy Gould, a handful of Australian doctors, and others to fill a void: a shortage of medical personnel in the South Pacific. Due to Samoa's and the surrounding islands' remote location, an online curriculum with local physician mentors evolved. Aspiring physicians in other areas were experiencing similar barriers in pursuing a medical degree due to geographical isolation and/or personal commitments. Soon OUM began receiving applications from all over the world.
