Happy #NOMWeek2016! #DOsThatDo #ProudDO

National Osteopathic Medicine (NOM) week is finally here!!!! This is a week where all osteopathic physicians and medical students help raise awareness for all the awesomeness that is osteopathic medicine. Know if you don't know, I am a proud future Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (or DO for short), and I am always up for educating those around me about the profession. When I first started this blog two years ago, I highlighted the questions I get asked most frequently about osteopathic medicine which you can find HERE, and I am always happy to answer questions I get asked about the profession.

Since I became a medical student almost two years ago, I can definitely say that my love for osteopathic medicine has grown and continues to grow on a daily basis. It is such a blessing to not only be on the path toward becoming a physician, but to be equipped with an extra skill set that enhances my ability to serve my future patients. Being an osteopathic medical student has also given me the opportunity to be more comfortable touching patients, and I still love being able to look at a patient from all angles.

I could go on and on about how amazing osteopathic medicine is, but if I want to continue on the path toward becoming a successful DO, then I need to get back to studying, LOL. So with that being said, use this week to find out more about osteopathic medicine, learn about your favorite physicians who just might happen to be DO's but you didn't even know, and hug your favorite DO :-) Wishing everyone a fantastic week!
