Music for Medicine
supports the Open Medical Institute, a program
founded by The American Austrian Foundation and physicians
from the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and New
York-Presbyterian Hospital that funds medical seminars
between American and European teaching physicians and
physicians from developing nations worldwide. The program
mentors young, promising physicians and offers them multiple
opportunities to meet with outstanding faculty members to
advance their academic and clinical skills. This
interaction allows these physicians to improve the quality
of healthcare in their developing countries. Faculty
members who share their medical expertise do so on a pro
bono basis. Since its inception, more than 1,300 American
and European faculty members have taught 14,000 physicians
from over 122 countries. Young physicians have come from
Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the countries
of the former Soviet Union. Recent expansion of the program
has included physicians from Africa and Mexico. Some 35
seminars take place each year in Salzburg, Austria.
