The power of preventive medicine in osteopathic care

By The DO Staff

08.04.25

Preventive medicine has an indispensable place in modern health care. When preventive medicine is approached through an osteopathic lens, its impact becomes even more far-reaching. It brings together rigorous population-health science with the osteopathic philosophy of practicing medicine, which centers on seeing the patient as an integrated whole. As a DO who is completing preventive medicine residency training, I have witnessed firsthand how these two frameworks naturally reinforce one another.
