In existence for 50 years, Manipal runs schools in India, Malaysia, Nepal and Antigua, and some of its students do residencies in the U.S. As envisioned, the Montana College of Osteopathic Medicine would enroll its first students in 2017 or 2018.
Neal Simon of Manipal said the school produces doctors who land residencies at top sites in North America, including the Mayo Clinic, Yale School of Medicine and the University of Toronto. Manipal describes itself as one of the largest owners and operators of medical schools in the world.

Another school, Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine, is looking to locate in Bozeman at Montana State University, according to MEP.
*************************
Manipal would seek to enroll 150 medical students a year, and it has affiliations with 40 teaching hospitals across the U.S. that already offer residencies to its other students, he said. The school in Missoula would be its first bricks-and-mortar educational institution in the U.S.
**********************
Before it opens its doors, the college in Montana would be accredited and licensed, he said. He also noted the oversight and requirements to get accreditation for a college of osteopathic medicine are strict.
"So it would be very hard for a for-profit school that wanted to cut corners to get that accreditation," Simon said.
He said he didn't want to denigrate Burrell, but one of its executives flew into a community on a private jet. On the other hand, he said Manipal looks to earn a profit over the long term.
"We don't put our money into private jets. We put our money into medical education," Simon said.
