Ohio Osteopathic Symposium brings physicians together

The Ohio Osteopathic Symposium had another successful year as osteopathic physicians from across the state gathered in Columbus April 20 – 23 to learn more about critical issues in medicine, participate in continuing medical education activities and showcase the latest research developments.

The symposium is sponsored by the 传统学院校友会 & 朋友 and the 俄亥俄州骨科协会.

Robert Juhasz D.O.，交付了J。.O. 华生,维.O.纪念讲座. The former president of Cleveland Clinic South Pointe Hospital and past president of the American Osteopathic Association talked about the value of diversity in medicine and shared the historical struggles with discrimination that osteopathic medicine faced, from being denied the opportunity to practice osteopathic medicine in the military to the passage of a law in 1962 in California that banned the licensing of osteopathic physicians. 他谈到了, 因为歧视, osteopathic medicine developed a “parallel universe” to allopathic medicine, 拥有自己的许可证, 专业及认证, but that now is changing with increasing acceptance of the profession.

Despite the transformation and challenges, Juhasz said the osteopathic profession “has learned that it can grow, 它可以繁荣并继续下去.”

He told the audience that there continues to be opportunities to improve diversity in the profession and to be mindful of “who we are bringing forward with us as we move forward.”

他最后说, “As we think about how we serve…think about the philosophy that we trained in, the things that we’ve experienced and the things that we can do to make a difference.”

Each year during the symposium, the state’s top osteopathic physicians are recognized. 得奖者包括:
