As both a former student, faculty member and now dean, I can say that our school is among the finest in the world!
Welcome to National University of Medical Sciences (USA). I hope you
are all excited to start your academic journey here with us.
I’m tremendously excited to be the new & first dean of the faculty
of applied clinical sciences here at NUMSS (USA). I’ve been able to meet
with many students in the last few months while teaching visceral
techniques of osteopathy, and I’ve learned a lot about the challenges
students face and their priorities and goals.
As we start the
new semester, I want students to know that I share their commitment to
research oriented health education and clinical practice and that I’m
looking forward to working with each of you, the future NUMSS (USA)
students.
We live in an exciting time. More people live longer
than ever before. More patients are living with multiple, chronic,
complex conditions. Delivering healthcare to these patients means we
need to develop new approaches to clinical care and education.
As
teachers we have a responsibility to embrace new ways of educating so
our students can lead these exciting changes in healthcare. We need to
take advantage of emerging communication technology to deliver
outstanding online and on-campus health education. I’m encouraged by the
quality and growth of activity in these areas across the Faculty.
Research delivers better health care. Our Faculty here at NUMSS (USA)
has a long history of basing their lectures on topics proven through
research and of translating this applied knowledge into clinical
practice to help patients, and, working together, we can make sure that
work continues.
I take pride in our future shaped by NUMSS (USA)
leadership in the field of osteopathic manual practice - a future
vested in the lives and careers of prospective students just like you.
At the core of our mission is a commitment to constantly seek to improve
what we do and strive to do our best. I look forward to continuing to
promote our mission with you.
Sincerely,
Dr Oleg Bagrin, MD, DOMP
Dean
Faculty of Applied Clinical Sciences
National University of Medical Sciences (USA)
