The difference between MD and DO isn't what is being highlighted with these such events. The AOA does this every year, and every year the turnout is pretty great. The osteopathic profession is still a new and constantly evolving practice that people are starting to notice every day. I think this is an amazing opportunity to give the nation a glimpse into what a DO is. I say this, because, in my state which is HEAVILY staffed with DOs people still ask what DOs are, are they physicians? Can they do surgery? And the list goes on.I personally am never impressed by these things. Who else but physicians are best suited for these types of positions? DO or MD doesn't make a difference. We all must accept the difference is historical and almost obsolete now
You'd think schools would pick some students who were just a bit more eloquent...
Good for them to try. But definitely not high quality or convincing. They will hopefully improve.
As a joke?A student from my school went to this and started asking people if they knew what OMM was. Then in front of everyone, he began talking about "Occupational Manipulative Medicine".
As a joke?
LOl at the Touro video. I'm soo happy my school doesn't take DO seriously
Meanwhile the nurse practitioners slowly but surely are creeping up and blurring the lines between real physicians and "doctor" nurses.
How about instead of these nausea inducing, meaningless DO promotion, they instead campaign to remove the word "Provider" from official hospital vocab, or fight to limit dangerous non-physician encroachment into virtually every single specialty of medicine?
But why would do those things when theyre too busy opening new diploma mills in various unknown rural dives all around the country.
