IUP held a reception to welcome the founding dean for the university’s college of osteopathic medicine Wednesday evening.
Dr. Miko Rose was given a lot of encouragement from IUP president Dr. Michael Driscoll, several members of state government and the IUP Council of Trustees. While they said that she was under a lot of pressure, they would be willing to help her out as she gets the osteopathic medicine school running. She said she was honored to have a great team behind her.
During his comments, Senator Joe Pittman announced that the state will contribute $2 million towards the new osteopathic medicine school. He talked about how important this money would be, and where the money is coming from.
When it opens, the College of Osteopathic Medicine at IUP would be the first of its kind in the State System of Higher Education.
