Inspired by  Online MedEd and Abraham Verghese's Stanford 25, this is a pathway for the efficient integration of osteopathy into the massive overload of  information in medical training.

Despite the incredible advances of modern medicine, we see many of its shortcomings. Doctors experience burnout at unprecedented rates. Patients  complain that doctors don't examine them anymore. While everyone laments the erosion of the doctor-patient relationship. At the same time, patients are becoming more and more dependent on opioids and suffer from iatrogenic illnesses. Finally, boundaries between "conventional" and "holistic" medicine are so strong that few physicians are capable of bridging that gap.

⭐
Osteopathic physicians who use all aspects of their training can provide the ideal solutions to these issues in medicine.

DO students and residents are diverse in their approach to osteopathy.  Some use osteopathic principles and practice every day, others not at all. As the profession has grown from 5 schools in the 1960s to over 45 schools today, osteopathic medicine means something different to each of DO.

🔎
Osteopathy is an elusive concept and the profession hard to define.

osteo-paths.net will:

1)  Teach pre-meds  about osteopathic practice to improve their applications and inspire them in the lifelong study of osteopathic medicine.

2) Guide DO students during the pre-clinical years to build a foundation in order to to seemlessly integrate osteopathic prinicples during the remainder of their training and beyond.

3) Provide DO students and residents with a high yield framework to efficiently solidify their osteopathic knowledge during their clinical years when the focus is on acquiring conventional medical knowledge.

4) Give physicians the resources necessary to build osteopathy into their practices in an efficient and productive manner.

Ours is a resource for each level of training, so that students, residents and physicians in practice, regardless of specialty or area of interest, can learn to learn osteopathy. Osteopathic knowledge cannot be taught online. But the information that supports efficient knowledge acquisition can be.

This is a guide to the efficient study of osteopathy. And it all begins with the most basic physician skill: diagnosis.
