ATSU-SOMA

نبذة عن جامعة ATSU-SOMA


The Wright Center is privileged to serve as a training and educational site for medical school students and physician assistants through a strong partnership with A.T. Still University (ATSU) of Health Sciences, the founding institution of osteopathic healthcare.

ATSU, which is a leading health sciences university, consists of three campuses (Mesa, Arizona; Santa Maria, California; and Kirksville, Missouri). These learning environments include residential and online healthcare-related graduate degrees as well as community-based partnerships worldwide. 

Aspiring physicians from A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (ATSU-SOMA) spend their first two years on campus in Mesa, Arizona, followed by two years doing clinical rotations at a Community Health Center, such as The Wright Center for Community Health, where they can learn to become selfless healers devoted to community service and equitable healthcare access.

In August 2020, The Wright Center welcomed its first incoming class of 11 medical school students from Arizona to Scranton, Pennsylvania. Today, The Wright Center consists of 14 medical school students who are completing their education in our clinical learning environments.

This shared learning model came about thanks to ATSU-SOMA’s partnership with the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) and is part of the school’s dedication to preparing service-minded students to meet the healthcare needs of society by placing them in medically underserved areas for their training.

وتوسيعًا لهذا التعاون المثير مع جامعة ATSU وNACHC، أصبح مركز رايت مؤخرًا مرفقًا تعليميًا وتدريبيًا لطلاب درجة الماجستير المسجلين في برنامج مساعد طبيب الساحل الأوسط التابع للجامعة. وصلت الدفعة الأولى المكونة من ثمانية طلاب من مساعدي الأطباء إلى مركز رايت في سبتمبر 2022 لبدء تجارب الممارسة السريرية تحت الإشراف. يحضر المشاركون في البرنامج السكني الذي يستمر لمدة 24 شهرًا في جامعة ATSU سانتا ماريا في كاليفورنيا لمدة عام واحد خلال المرحلة ما قبل السريرية، تليها مرحلة سريرية مدتها 35 أسبوعًا تقريبًا في مركز رايت أو أي مركز صحي مجتمعي آخر.

تلتزم جامعة ATSU-SOMA بتدريب الدارسين في المجتمعات التي ينتمون إليها، كما يتضح من برنامجها الناجح Hometown Scholars - وهي مبادرة توظيف تستهدف أطباء المستقبل وأطباء الأسنان ومساعدي الأطباء من مناطق تشمل شمال شرق بنسلفانيا.

The Wright Center is proud to join ATSU in renewing our local and national physician workforce and training inspired, competent doctors and other healthcare professionals. This effort was solidified when our inaugural graduating class of A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona medical students matched at residency programs across the country, including two students joining The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education.
