PARIS, TN–Henry County Medical Center is welcoming medical students for one year as part of rotations that are required for their programs. These students join HCMC from Lincoln Memorial University – DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine in Harrogate, Tennessee and William Carey University – College of Osteopathic Medicine located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Community-based training is one of the two major clinical training models used in medical education today, hospital officials said. It provides for an excellent training atmosphere for the third and fourth year osteopathic medical students and affords the best opportunity of achieving its mission of training primary care physicians for rural and underserved areas in the South. HCMC has partnered with the other universities to achieve this goal and has organized training around theHCMC “Hub Site.”
Hub Sites are clinical training sites capable of providing all of the Core and Selective Rotations within an hour’s drive of a central location. Osteopathic medical students in their third and fourth years will reside and participate in the communities in which they are training. HCMC is building a multidisciplinary educational environment along with our Physician Assistant Students from Bethel University that will equip them to better serve our community.
“HCMC is moving forward with our goal to train physicians with a passion for excellence in rural health,” said Amanda J. Finley, Director of Medical Education.
Please join us in welcoming the following medical students to Henry County Medical Center: Andrew James; OLuwaseun Olusanya, Spencer Rhodes, Katherine Sullivan, Megan Tuttle; Joseph Weigold, Brittany Zeller, Michael Zornes.
