Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine is a private medical school in Las Cruces, New Mexico, serving approximately 650 students. With students completing medical rotations off campus in different states, the college needed a scalable way to provide 24/7 medical and mental health care.
By partnering with TimelyCare, Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine expanded access to on-demand and scheduled medical and mental health services, psychiatry, health coaching, and care navigation.
"Our overall student body’s health has improved because of this service. Oftentimes, medical students are so busy, it is challenging for them to work self-care into their daily routine. Since TimelyCare is so easy to access and has very short wait times, we’ve had very high utilization rates."
