IUP and the Indiana Regional Medical Center held a ceremony today to sign a clinical training agreement for the school’s proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The agreement secures IRMC as a clinical training site for students, who will traditionally be at these sites in their third and fourth years. Signing sites like IRMC is a part of the plan to get certification with the American Osteopathic Association’s Commission on Osteopathic College accreditation.
IRMC President and CEO Steve Wolfe said he was honored to work with the university on the agreement.
IUP President Dr. Michael Driscoll said it was important to support the communities that support them, and that is one of the reasons why the proposed college is being created, and the best way to do that is to support rural healthcare.
