Over the course of his career, Dr. Thomas Mohr has helped start three medical schools and over 25 different residency programs, so he's in a good position to help launch the first medical school in Idaho, a state with a very low number of physicians per capita. In this fascinating talk, Dr. Mohr shares his take on the difference between osteopathic and allopathic medicine – a distinction that has become less obvious over time, he notes, as more MDs embrace a holistic approach to treating patients. The division is perhaps most clear on the training level: whereas most MDs train in large academic medical centers, osteopathic medical schools like ICOM are smaller and feature a “distributed model” of medical education in which third and fourth year students train in community-based hospitals and smaller rural posts – placements that strongly influence where students will later practice as professionals. Tune in to hear how COVID is impacting the teaching of osteopathic principles and practices, the importance of high-touch techniques in treating COVID patients and the opportunities to make a difference through medicine.
