Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine—Osteopathic Medicine Program 27 A notable aspect of the clinical program is a required, threemonth rotation in rural or urban underserved practice settings. In rural and urban underserved clinics throughout the state of Florida, nationally, and internationally, our students provide health care to medically underserved and indigent patients. Our students learn to treat various patients whose lifestyles, practices, and attitudes toward health care differ from those seen in more traditional training sites. This enriching educational experience is one that cannot be taught in the classroom. Physicians are members of health care teams, and NSU promotes interdisciplinary cooperation whenever possible. Students share faculty members and campus facilities with NSU’s other health professionals, such as pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, public health, and nursing students.
