SALZBURG WEILL CORNELL SEMINARS OF THE OPEN MEDICAL INSTITUTE (OMI)

In 1993, physicians from Weill Medical College of

Cornell University enthusiastically agreed to share

their knowledge and expertise with young

colleagues from the former communist world.

What began with one Salzburg Weill Cornell

Seminar has evolved into the Open Medical

Institute, which organizes 40 seminars, 150

observerships and 20 in-country symposia each

year. This is made possible by dedicated faculty

members from Weill Cornell Medical College

(NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, The Hospital for

Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer

Center), The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia,

Cleveland Clinic and Duke University Medical

Center. Over 18,000 doctors from Central and

Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Russia, Africa, the

Middle East and Latin America have participated,

and significantly, the overwhelming majority

have remained in their country of origin, thereby

effecting lasting brain gain.

The Open Medical Institute operates under the

auspices of The American Austrian Foundation

with funding from the Open Society Foundations,

the Austrian Ministry of Science, Research, and

Economy and other donors.

Increasingly, the international community is

making the connection between peace, health

and development. The UN’s Sustainable

Development Goals say that peace and justice

are essential for development, and the 2016

high-level panel on the global response to health

crises states that health is essential for

sustainable development and for building resilient

societies. Recent pandemics show that without

qualified healthcare professionals on the ground,

it is impossible to prevent diseases from spreading.

The Salzburg Weill Cornell Seminars of the Open

Medical Institute have consistently built capacity

by offering multiple, short-term, clinical study

opportunities. This is in direct contrast to traditional,

research-oriented fellowships of two years or

more, which have increased brain drain. Doctors

who participate in long-term fellowships are

often unwilling to return home because their

local research facilities do not compare favorably

with those of their host institution. By focusing

on clinical education, and offering short-term

fellowships, we have ensured that doctors from

countries in transition can update their skills, and

implement what they have learned immediately

after returning home, and our dedicated faculty,

all of whom serve pro bono, continue to serve as

mentors.

Despite globalization, medical care is local.

Through the Salzburg Weill Cornell Seminars of

the Open Medical Institute, highly qualified,

English-speaking clinicians from resource-poor

societies gain access to the international

community of physicians, and, over time, have

significantly improved the quality of healthcare

in their countries.
