Posted: January 17, 2012
Representatives of Kunming Medical University (KMU) visited ATSU’s Missouri campus Sept. 20. The group traveled from Kunming City, Yunnan Province, China, to meet with ATSU President Jack Magruder and other University officials, including Craig Phelps, D.O., FAOASM, ’84, executive vice president for strategic initiatives. During the visit both universities made presentations, toured the campus, and compared academic and regulatory environments in the two schools and countries.
John Hon, D.O., ’79, an emergency medicine physician from New York, hosted KMU and has been exploring ideas for collaboration with ATSU-KCOM and China. While there are no immediate or long-term plans, Dr. Hon requested the group visit campus and discuss possible collaborative opportunities such as international student rotation sites.
