IUP has another agreement in place concerning the proposed College for Osteopathic Medicine.
That clinical training agreement was signed this week with the Clarion Psychiatric Center. The agreements are similar to ones signed with IRMC, Punxsutawney Area Hospital and others, which will help provide hands-on medical experience for students, which usually happens in the third and fourth years of study. In a statement, University President Dr. Michael Driscoll said that the agreement will provide the experience in mental and behavioral health needs for patients, and that the school is continuing to get support and enthusiasm from legislators, policy makers, alumni and friends.
Clarion Psychiatric CEO Jessica Hansford said that they look forward to the collaboration, which will further strengthen their commitment to quality health care.
This marks the ninth clinical training agreement IUP has signed with area medical providers.
