Med students serve the underserved
Posted: October 17, 2013
Students at A.T. Still University’s Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (ATSU-KCOM) recently held a Health Fair in Milan, Mo. Milan is an underserved area with a significant Hispanic population.
Under supervision, the students provided physical exams, nutrition and dental hygiene education, and osteopathic manipulative medicine diagnosis and treatment to around 50 patients.
More than 75 ATSU-KCOM students and supervising faculty provided service. The clubs represented were DOCare, Family Medicine Club, Medical Spanish, and Student National Medical Association.
