It’s National Osteopathic Medicine Week! | JOIN THE CELEBRATION
It is a pleasure to introduce you to Edward Stiles, DO, FAAODist. He has spent his entire medical career advancing osteopathic medicine. He is no stranger to the evolution and forward progress of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM).
For the last several years, the AOA’s public policy team has provided opportunities for osteopathic students and physicians to connect with their legislators during one-on-one meetings that take place during the August legislative recess, DO Day and other special events held throughout the year.
What makes a good sports medicine fellow? How does one become a primary care sports medicine fellow? As a longtime sports medicine fellowship program director, I’d like to share my insights with aspiring fellows.
Fellowships are becoming more popular in this new generation of physicians, and sports medicine is one that can be pursued from a number of specialties, including family medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, pediatrics and osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine.
Estimates of the current number of active U.S. pathologists vary considerably; recent estimates provided in this study range from nearly 13,000 to more than 21,000 physicians, depending on which subspecialties are included in the count. A 2019 study reported that the number of American pathologists has been decreasing in recent years.
The Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) recently shared their result of a national needs assessment focused on documenting the experiences of discrimination faced by Latina/o/x/e, Hispanic or of Spanish origin (LHS+) identified medical students applying to residency programs.
To get into medical school, premeds are typically expected to be involved in a number of different activities; these can include hospital experience, volunteering, leadership and shadowing. Students are often misled into thinking they are finally finished with extracurriculars and can now finally focus only on schoolwork.
The fourth year of medical school is often the most enjoyable time for many medical students. For me, like other students who graduated in 2020, our post-match social life was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With an abundance of medical journals and research studies that are relevant to DOs and the work they do, keeping abreast of the latest medical research can be challenging.
