omm- osteopathic manipulative MREDICINE

PLEASE STOP TALKING, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT.
Have you done any type of shadowing of studying OPP ( osteopathic principles and practice- this is the course NOT OMM) - OMM is the speciality.
Not because you dont understand how something works doesn't mean it doesn't. You are a future physician please think like one. throughot history, many people came up with different theory eg ( Henle - germ theory) many people think he was a quake until it was later proven. so with that being said, if you dont have any proof that omm doesnt work, please stop talking.

I used to scoff at OMM... I mean OPP... but your post has made me see the error of my ways.

From the perspective a student who will be going through the match (matches?) in 2015, I do hope this turns out as advertised. I would strongly prefer an ACGME residency and the proposed solution would enable me to apply to those while still hedging my bets with "AOA" programs. I'm a good student and I expect I will be competitive, but I was/am pretty nervous about the risks involved in forgoing the AOA match for hopes at an ACGME program.

I am also optimistic that this agreement foreshadows future cooperation between the DO and MD worlds. I would much prefer our organization focus on the medicine and the education rather than struggling to emphasize the diminishing differences between "allopathic" and "osteopathic" philosophies. I have some strong feelings about the whole OMT issue, but suffice to say I would shed not a single tear if the whole thing disappeared tomorrow.

ACGME and AOA unification is a good thing for patients. It is the first step in bringing standards for training in the specialties to a clear focus. The more unified we are a physicians, the more we can stop the ego trips and focus on the patient.
Focus on the patient and you will never go wrong.

Thank you. I'd rather not use the word "faith". I don't want to "believe". I want to "know".


I was once like you. You may find that your feelings change when society places responsibility for their ills at your feet, instead of their God's.

And you shouldn't use the word "faith". This always pisses me off more than it should, but what happens is someone looks at what is basically the central difference between the two points, and then claims they're both doing the same thing by equivocating "faith". I have as much "faith" there is no god as I do "faith" that the sun will rise tomorrow. Yes, deep down, I could be wrong on either account. I don't know everything, and technically a lot of information on these topics I get is second hand at best. Or maybe all I know is true, and still, one of those things will be false. The sun could technically just wink out of existence this second so it will never rise on me again. But is that really the "faith" you're talking about?

No. It is so far removed from your "faith" that it's really just common usage to use the same term for both things. Or potentially willful obfuscation. You [not you Rusted Fox - I just realized I only quoted you] are confusing a non-zero probability of being wrong, which applies to essentially any assertion, with believing in things you have no reason to believe in.
