Dear 3rd and 4th year osteopathic medical students:
We are conducting a survey about the importance of OMT in clinical practice, the internship and residency application process, and the differences between osteopathic and allopathic medical education.
Last week, the attached survey was sent to all twenty osteopathic medical schools, with the hope of receiving at least 500 completed surveys. Thus far, we have received approximately 200 responses from 16 of the osteopathic medical schools. We are overwhelmed with the response thus far. However, we have not had any responses from several of the schools, including Des Moines, PCOM, Univ of North Texas, and New Jersey.
Once we have recieved enough surveys, we will then conduct a literature search of similar studies and incoporate them with our results. The results of this study will then be analyzed with the hopes of being published in a nationally recognized osteopathic journal.
Please help us to determine the future of osteopathic medicine by completing this brief survey. Your answers will be kept confidential, and the results should be completed within the next few months.
In order to participate in our survey, please cut and paste the following survey below to a word document. Fill out the questions in the survey, save it, and then attach it to an email and send it to [email protected] or via U.S. Postal mail at 115 112th Avenue NE Apt. 710 St. Petersburg, FL 33716.
If you have already received this study via email, please do not fill out another survey. If you have not filled out our survey, please take a few minutes to answer our questionare. We thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Williams, MS-III and James P. Howell, MS-III
