Did you just... call 'em up?
Hi Talula,
I'm writing him a letter with an intro: who I am, what I'm trying to do, what I can bring in term of skills (not medical ones obviously), and that basically I'd like to help out however I possibly can to get as educated as I can about Osteopathy and his career experiences.
I'll enclose my resume (I'm a 34 yr old non-trad so I had a previous career in technology), and the steps that I'm presently making toward becoming a Doc (volunteering at Beth Israel, my post-bacc plans, etc).
Just as an aside, I was a bit suprised that in Boston, there were only 11 DOs listed on the AOA registry...and this is a medical town!
Of course if he can't fit me in in any capacity, I'll offer to take him to lunch and just try and get as much knowledge as I can. I'll let you know how it goes if you're interested.
Thanks everyone for the support, and DocBill...your strategy is right up my alley
... Never, ever, ever give up
