hello, does anyone know of any good websites that outline the history of osteopathy? thanks in advance.

just type into a google search, that will be more than adequate information for interviews.

To be honest, I don't think that you need to know the history before an interview. Before I applied to and interviewed at MD/DO schools, I knew absolutely zero about the history of osteopathy. Couldn't even have told you that A.T. Still founded it. I was, however, familiar w/ the theory and practice b/c of knowing DO's. I was very surprised this didn't come back to nip me in the butt at Kirksville, but oh well...

Now, as an interviewer, I can honestly say that I have never heard anyone in any of my groups ask a candidate anything that would require a knowledge of the history of osteopathy.

Once you start classes here, we have a short course w/ two exams that covers this topic.

The AOA website has a nice and relatively lengthy overview of different facets of OM. The history is not important for an interview, but you should have a solid understanding of the concept of osteopathy. I also read Gevitz's book.

I just bought Gevitz's book, and I'm really looking forward to reading it.
