Burrell College Of Osteopathic Medicine: Case Study

One of the main missions of the university is to help underserved communities. I believe that both my personal and academic experience has engrained in me the qualities that are essential for completing medical school and becoming a doctor. I want to become an osteopathic doctor that is involved in the community and serves those who lack proper health care. My primary care doctor, who is an osteopathic doctor, influenced my decision to pursue osteopathic medicine. She taught me that osteopathic medicine consists of treatment with holistic approaches, and it involves an education in physical manipulation. This aspect is particularly of interest to me because this is an approach that is used in India. Overall, I believe that I am a thoroughly qualified candidate to pursue a DO degree from Touro college of Osteopathic Medicine. The sheer pleasure I derive from helping people and sharing what I know, coupled with the mental stimulation intrinsic to the profession, make medicine the clear career pathway for

Although I have not shadowed an osteopathic physician, my experience within the field of osteopathy derives from a more personal experience. As the patient of an osteopathic physician, I am most fascinated with the multiple modalities that my physician uses within her practice. Throughout my course of visits, I have witnessed that her practice encompasses an integrative approach in which treatments include, but are not limited to, osteopathic manipulative medicine, traditional medications and surgery. I have also noted that my primary care physician always obtained a comprehensive view of current symptoms as well as lifestyle practices. I believe that these two views allows her to detect any interconnections and assess any underlying causes

I am interested in Emory’s School of Medicine MD program mainly impart to their commitment to train physicians to serve the community. I believe community involvement as a physician is key to diminish health inequalities where they initially develop. In addition, Emory’s emphasis towards understanding the biopsychosocial conditions of each patient will be vital in honing in on an accurate diagnosis and tailoring my approach as a physician to accommodate these factors while meeting their needs.

Morehouse School of Medicine is the academic institution that will give me the best environment to grow and flourish. The prestige and history of the school speak for themselves, but Morehouse has so much more to offer. Strong community presence is a quality of Morehouse’s that drew me to the school. Learning about the Public Health & Preventative Medicine residency program was exciting for me because practicing preventative medicine is a future goal of mine. As I overlooked Morehouse’s website and read about MSM’s strategic five year plan, the key words that stuck out to me were “health equity”. I believe every individual deserves a fair chance at living a healthy life regardless of his or her socio-economic status. I was so glad to see that

The Honors College at Lone Star presents itself as an immense opportunity for me to truly exhibit the potential which I strive to exude. It provides not only convenience to my family and I, but reassurance that I can receive an honorary level of education just a few miles from home. As I traverse through high school, I always hold a subconscious idea of the future I wish to lead and the effort which it demands, but I never became discouraged by the years of education which I must accomplish. In fact, this factor only accelerates my ambition to excel in what several appear to be abandoning as of late: medicine.

The first time I ever heard of osteopathic medicine was when my sister told me she was going to apply to an osteopathic medical school. This was about two years ago. I then started doing research to understand the difference between the M.D. and D.O. programs. I found that osteopathic medical school will offer me even more than an M.D. program. In a D.O. program I knew that I would learn all the modern medicine that is taught in the M.D. programs and more. What attracted me the most is the osteopathic manipulative medicine. I find it fascinating how osteopathic medicine uses hands on diagnosis and treatment in order to prevent diseases and illness as well as promote a healthy life style.

The time I spent working in the ER as a scribe and the people I met during my time there inspired me to apply to osteopathic medical schools. Prior to my working there, I honestly didn’t know there were two routes to becoming a physician. I started noticing that there was either D.O. or M.D. initialed after doctors’ names in the signature of different physicians throughout the hospital.

I chose Wayne State School of Medicine because its vision resonates with my values and career goals.

A career in the health sciences field has been an aspiration of mine for as long as I can remember. In fact, not only has it been my goal, but I have never wanted to pursue a field besides medicine. There have been several instances in my life that have drawn me towards health sciences through school, volunteer work, and everyday life. These experiences confirmed my dedication to the field of medicine and patient care, and with a Marquette University College of Health Sciences degree, I will be able to finally pursue the career I have dreamed of for years.

I want to attend Rush Medical College for the extensive student support resources, the opportune location, the practitioner-teacher model of education, and the preventative medicine department. Rush Medical College’s Career in Medicine Program offers the necessary support and counseling that I will need to get the most from my medical education. My main goal is to become an excellent primary care physician working with underserved communities in a diverse and urban setting. With this in mind, Rush Medical College’s metropolitan location will allow me to establish myself in an area conducive to achieving my objective. In addition, the practitioner-teacher model will provide the applied education I need to become an outstanding clinician. Lastly,

I plan to study biology pre-health at Saint Xavier University in order to be able to enter the health care system and be able to help out the less fortunate. The Sisters have inspired me to pursue this career because it had made me realize that a lot of immigrants in this society don’t go to doctors for years since they do not have insurance or a health plan so they are not able to afford the high prices of the medicine or the checkups. I hope to open up my own clinic when I graduate from SXU in order to offer low cost checkups for people that do not have any type of medical

Our defense attorney assisted us in identifying an Orthopedist to conduct a peer review of claimant medical specials. Defense Counsel agrees with our physician’s evaluation of the damages, and feels a settlement north of $50,000.00 is too generous in this case. Although we agree the damages are inflated, we will incur significant expenses defending this clear liability claim. Therefore, I am requesting authority to negotiate settlement of this

Thank you for making time to speak with me yesterday during my interview at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. I truly enjoyed listening to a professor who is as invested in his school as you are and not only has an answer to the question “what brought you here?” but also “what keeps you here?” Your answer was a testament of the great community of professors and students at UNECOM. Doctors can best learn to provide patient-centered care by professors who provide student-centered teaching. Having professors who truly care about there students is rare to find, but after speaking to you in my interview, I could see your commitment to training quality doctors.

Allopathic and Osteopathic physicians are both equally certified to practice medicine but do have small variability to their approach to care and experiences. While an osteopathic physician’s creed is to treat the individual as a whole as opposed to their symptoms, factors that lead to my decision are the primary care educational focus, lack of inferiority to allopathic medicine and hands on approach to care.

I ultimately aim to obtain a Biology degree and become a Physical Therapist. I hope to dispel the myth that many of my classmates have that people of color are only successful playing sports. There are a lot of students like me who play sports and get so lost in this dream of becoming a professional athlete, that they forget about the most important thing, and that’s education. I believe that the biggest issue within the science field today is the lack of African Americans entering into the field. African-Americans have one of the lowest numbers of medical school enrollments and I aim to shed light on the importance behind increasing this number. Underrepresented minorities are more likely to go back and serve in their communities. This means more physicians are treating populations that are traditionally undeserved. An increase of minorities in this field will also increase the amount of cultural understanding and ultimately bring a sense of comfort to
