    AOASM– AOA Update April 26, 2021 AMERICAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION OF SPORTS MEDICINE (AOASM) AOA UPDATE I. OPENING REMARKS I am Thomas Ely, DO, an osteopathic board-certified Family Physician, and currently President of the American Osteopathic Association. April 18-24, 2021, we celebrated National Osteopathic Medicine Week, highlighting the proud 129-year heritage of osteopathic medicine, reflecting the momentous contributions of DOs – past, present, and future – within the health care system and in the lives of millions of patients. As we reflected on our heritage, we looked forward to our future. So, I thank you for the opportunity to provide a brief update on how the American Osteopathic Association is working for YOU. Even though we have been working in a “virtual world,” I can assure you that the AOA has been involved in many significant activities and areas that have, and will have, definite impact on the osteopathic profession. We are a physician-led, physician-directed organization working to measure, anticipate, and respond to YOUR needs. II. AOA OPERATIONAL PRIORITIES In addition to supporting physicians and students during the pandemic, the operational priorities for my presidential year have been aimed at advancing, enhancing, and building a bright future for the osteopathic profession. My first objective is to Expand the Osteopathic Community. Currently, osteopathic physicians represent approximately 11% of all practicing physicians in the United States, but osteopathic medicine is one of the fastest-growing segments of health care, with a growth increase of almost 300% over the past three decades. We graduate over 7,000 new osteopathic physicians a year and by the end of this decade, we will represent an estimated 20% of all practicing physicians in the United States.

  • Education Asset Inventory
    Education Asset Inventory A landscape analysis of credentials offered for targeted sectors in Greater Kansas City Advanced Engineering & Information Finance & Life Manufacturing Architecture Technology Insurance Sciences 5th Annual Inventory | November 2019 OVERVIEW The Education Asset Inventory is produced by the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) to • Provide educators and students with the most current list of credentials being offered to prepare for high-demand occupations. • Present areas of opportunity for colleges and universities to develop curriculum for new programs where there are gaps. • Share industry insights to better prepare the next generation workforce for in- demand occupations in Greater Kansas City. METHODOLOGY Using employment and other economic data, MARC’s research services staff identified five sectors that are particularly important to the regional economy — traded sectors in which we specialize. These include: Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering and Architecture, Finance and Insurance, Information Technology and Life Sciences. In 2015, the first edition of this report was produced in partnership with the Council for Adult & Experiential Learning (CAEL). Since 2016, MARC has taken the methodology established by CAEL and expanded it to include the Life Sciences industry; added or removed institutions based on closures, expansions and contributions to the targeted industry sectors; added important programs that are growing in demand, such as data analytics and business analytics; and, most recently, captured more online and hybrid programs being offered in the region. The schools highlighted in this report are within a 150-mile radius of the Kansas City region and offer credentials that benefit at least one of the targeted industries. Since the first report, several public and private institutions (or their satellite campuses) have been added and some for-profit institutions have closed or are no longer accepting students.

Not since 1918 has our Country’s medical professionals been challenged by such a far-reaching pandemic. It challenges us, as a graduate healthcare University, to insist on the most advanced educational technologies and curricular emphasis, while never forgetting our commitment to the healing power and the importance of body, mind, and spirit. We are proud of the stellar performance and eagerness of the Class of 2020 to launch into the next phase of medical education. You came to RVU with a sense of purpose, a desire to make a difference, and today, I remind you that your journey is never complete. The faculty and staff have provided you with the tools for success and wish you every joy and happiness a life of service can bring. Today is a day of gratitude: gratitude to your family, friends, and faculty—all of whom share in your pride and accomplishment. To our medical school graduates, the people that are not here are your future patients, the individuals and families you will be privileged to touch. The “DO Touch” encompasses compassion, caring, and expertise in your chosen specialty. Every day, we hear tragic sto- ries of families devastated by not being with their loved ones at their hour of need; this sorrow will reside in their hearts and minds forever.
