BIOM COM International Involvement Survey

International Clinical Elective Site(s)

In an effort to expand knowledge about opportunities for the osteopathic medical profession internationally, the AOA's Bureau on International Osteopathic Medical Education and Affairs (BIOMEA) conducts this survey of the colleges of osteopathic medicine (COM). This survey will help us further our international efforts and advocacy and will provide important information about your activities in the international community.

This survey should take less than 30 minutes and the information collected is crucial to our profession's knowledge about international work. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey and allowing us to share the information, which is important to the growth of the profession internationally.
