Community Based Learning

Community Based Learning

Mission Medicine at Burrell College represents our commitment to serving underserved communities throughout our mission regions. Rooted in the principles of osteopathic medicine, this initiative emphasizes compassion, service, and equity in healthcare. Through education, outreach, and clinical practice, we prepare future physicians to advance health and well-being where it is most needed. Watch some of our Mission Medicine highlights here!
