Eastern Kentucky University has made its pitch for Senate support for the Richmond school to pursue establishing an osteopathy program. During a Senate hearing, EKU President David McFaddin said osteopathic medicine could link with other current health services programs at Eastern.
“I think that you start to be able to create a clinical experiential experience on campus where all of a sudden we have an attending physician, a nursing student, a mental health professional, a dietician all working around a clinical setting and learning how to take care of a patient who has all of those needs,” said McFaddin.
