Osteopathic physicians enjoy a solid reputation for providing continuity and comprehensive primary care, especially in rural communities where other professionals are less inclined to serve. These virtues resonate soundly with some of international health’s most highly held principles: wholistic, sustainable care on behalf of people most marginalized. That osteopathic physicians would be inclined towards international service would seems logical, and in fact is true.
Within this background, INMED and A.T. Still University (ATSU) in Kirksville MO – the home of osteopathic funder Dr. Still himself – have continued developing joint learning opportunities for osteopathic medical students. Introduce here are the 2018 graduates of INMED’s Professional Certificate Course in International Medicine & Public Health, hosted by ATSU. What next for these enthusiastic learners? Watch for their INMED Blog posts as they apply their skills at INMED Training Sites around the globe.
