Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) see patients, prescribe medications, perform surgeries, and deliver babies in hospitals, medical centers, and offices across the United States and overseas. Whether they are primary care providers or specialists, DOs use all the standard tools of modern medicine, but also have additional therapeutic modalities with which to care for their patients. Our students thrive in a culture of patient-focused care because they practice on a foundation of professionalism, benevolence, and respect. They understand that while they practice the art of medicine with their heads, they must never forget to use their hearts.

    Student DO of the Month

    鈥淩achel deserves to be Student Doctor of the Month because she is always spreading positivity amongst her peers and makes great resources for reviewing OMM. She makes a wheel of OMM techniques every block to help students review OMM before practicals.

Examples include making candy grams for DO 2027 to spread positivity, organizing a coffee vendor to come to campus, planning a workout for students after class, and many more! Rachel loves to bake and is always bringing baked goods to school to share with her classmates as well!鈥� more…
