Arkansas State University’s medical school partners with Guam hospitals, university
The New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine has partnered with Guam hospitals and the University of Guam to train medical students and address physician shortages. The partnership will allow students to complete clinical training in Guam and return to serve in the Mississippi Delta region.
The New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) has signed agreements with the University of Guam, Guam Memorial Hospital, and Guam Regional Medical Center. The partnerships, operating through NYITCOM's Arkansas State University campus, aim to recruit and train medical students on Guam, a US territory. Currently, Guamanians must leave the island for medical education, spending around a decade abroad. NYITCOM students will spend their first two years in Arkansas and their final two years in clinical rotations in Guam. The partnership seeks to address physician shortages in both Guam and the Mississippi Delta region. Students gaining experience in Guam will be better equipped to serve the growing Pacific Islander population in Arkansas.
