The Global Mobility outreach program supports the development of clinics promoting better health care through OREC's advanced biomedical orthopaedic technology. For organizations working with MAL's Global Mobility program, this includes quantitative motion analysis, which improves surgical and rehabilitative treatment approaches for individuals suffering from ortohpaedic injury or dysfunction. Our goals include supporting the improvement of clinical care for patients in under-served areas through the establishment of motion analysis clinics. Our program works to provide educational support for physicians and residents, the advancement of research, and operational independence, as we strive for all clinics to become self-sufficient. 

Our Reach

The Global Mobility program has a global reach, with established motion analysis laboratories in Cali, Colombia; Manila, Philippines; Mexico City, Mexico; Mumbai, India; and Taoyuan City, Taiwan. In addition, new labs are under development in the United States.

Come Study With Us!

Students interested in traveling the world while engaging in biomedical research designed to improve the lives of individuals living in low-resource areas are invited to apply for The Motion Analysis Center's Global Mobility program. 

How does it work?  Coursework and laboratory experiences in Global Mobility are offered through the OREC's Motion Analysis program (a-c) and the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering. Students completing a one-semester course of instruction qualify for rotations through the Marquette Office of International Education to some of MAL's outreach motion analysis laboratories. 

Not a student of biomedical engineering?  That's okay. The OREC Global Mobility program also falls within the new Public Health and Equity minor at Marquette. This minor is open to students across campus.
