An anonymous gift of $25,000 has been gifted to the IUP proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine.
This brings the total donations for the proposed college to over $31 million. Once established, the college would generate more than $79 million in annual economic impact. IUP President Michael Driscoll says that since the Council of Trustees has endorsed the idea of a college of osteopathic medicine, they’ve seen incredible support from alumni, faculty and staff, legislators and the community. IUP has formally taken steps towards accreditation of the proposed college from the American Osteopathic Association’s Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation. This is a three- to five-year process that includes submission of self-studies and a feasibility study, along with site visits.
