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.
