The President Is In

Hot off the grill

Your seat at the table with the AOA’s president

Real talk, practical tips and kitchen-table wisdom for DOs at every stage

AOA President Robert G.G. Piccinini, DO, D.FACN, is taking a personal approach to staying connected—creating real-time, real-talk spaces for members at every stage of their careers.

In session with Dr. Bob

Upcoming virtual town halls with Dr. Piccinini:

April 22, 2026
Students
6:30-7:30 p.m. CT
Residents
7:45-8:45 p.m. CT

First, Dr. Piccinini invites osteopathic medical students, residents and fellows to his virtual bimonthly town hall series, “The President Is In: Your Time with Dr. Bob.” These aren’t your typical town halls. They are real conversations with “Dr. Bob”—in true psychiatrist form, with more listening than talking.

And in his “Cooking with Dr. Bob” video series, Dr. Piccinini serves more than just BBQ. Each episode brings a relaxed, kitchen-table conversation to the topics that we encounter in everyday life and in the practice and study of osteopathic medicine: protecting your mental health, being a leader and navigating everyday pressures in a demanding profession, and more.

You’ll hear practical tips, real stories from the field and thoughtful takeaways you can apply in your practice. Whether you’re a student, resident, fellow or seasoned DO, you’ll find something nourishing here.

All episodes in the series can be found below. Check back—we’ll be adding more regularly.
