The Indiana University of Pennsylvania has named the founding dean to their proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine.
After a national search, IUP has selected Dr. Miko Rose as the dean for the proposed college. The announcement came during the Second Annual Pennsylvania Mountains Rural Health Conference earlier today at the KCAC. She comes from Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences College Osteopathic Medicine, where she is an associate professor and Chief of the Division of Psychiatry in the department of clinical medicine and Assistant Dean for Clinical Education. She is also nationally recognized as the founder and Program Director of The Joy Initiative, which she started while she was at Michigan State. She has also served as a council member for the American Psychiatric Association Committee for Geriatric Psychiatry and the Council on Communications and on the National Board of Medical Examiners.
Rose said that the university has a great opportunity to break poverty cycles.
She will start work at IUP on November 20th.
