DHS joined leadership from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) to announce the signing of a clinical training affiliation agreement with Warren State Hospital for future students at IUP’s proposed college of osteopathic medicine. This partnership will educate and train future osteopathic physicians in a clinical setting at Warren State Hospital while also addressing the urgent need for health care professionals in rural and underserved communities.
“DHS is honored that Warren State Hospital will help play a role in supporting our rural communities by training future generations of physicians in Warren County,” said DHS Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Deputy Secretary Jen Smith. “Warren’s programs and the Pennsylvanians they treat will help educate IUP College of Osteopathic Medicine students about behavioral health care and the unique needs and challenges our patients face, and it will be an opportunity to understand and see firsthand that recovery is possible with the right supports and treatment. We hope students will be inspired by our commitment to individual health and wellbeing while contributing to their communities’ health and investing in their future careers. The students who train here will also play a part in fostering trust and community for the neighbors and the people we work with, so they know that they can get the care they need with dignity and respect.”
