  • (Aoasm) Aoa Update
    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.

  • RVU Class of 2020 Commencement Program (PDF)
    Mission Statement Rocky Vista University provides quality healthcare education while inspiring students to serve with compassion, integrity, and excellence. Class of 2020 Commencement Friday, First of May, Two-Thousand Twenty Letter from the President To Rocky Vista University’s Class of 2020, This year’s Commencement is dedicated to our students and faculty as they played, and continue to play, a significant role in the COVID-19 Pandemic. 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.

  • WCUCOM Strategic Plan 2020-2025 Choose DO…The Carey Way
    1 WCUCOM Strategic Plan 2020-2025 Choose DO…The Carey Way Introduction William Carey University mission statement is: As a Christian university which embraces its Baptist heritage and namesake, William Carey University provides quality educational programs, within a caring Christian academic community, which challenges the individual student to excel in scholarship, leadership, and service in a diverse global society Dr. Italo Subbarao, Dean of WCUCOM, serves on the University’s Strategic Planning Committee to ensure the COMs growth and values align with the University Mission. WCUCOM’s Strategic Plan accounts for the unique needs of our osteopathic medical community and ensure that our robust 2 program meets the needs of primary care physicians in Mississippi, the Gulf South, and around the globe. SWOT Analysis WCUCOM’s mission was born out of the challenges facing Mississippi and the Gulf South. Mississippi is ranked 47th in the nation regarding access to care and overall number of primary care physicians. Since 2010, WCUCOM has placed an average of 98% of its graduating students seeking graduate medical education (N= 636) into graduate medical education (GME) programs. Of these students, 78% matched into primary care residencies, which, according to U.S. News and World Report is among the top 5 residency placement rates in the country, based on a three-year rolling average. Since the graduation of its inaugural class in 2014, 137 (21%) of the 636 WCUCOM graduates seeking GME have matched within Mississippi. This also gives WCUCOM a strong alumni pool that it can draw upon for full-time faculty, adjunct faculty, and clinical preceptors to maintain a reasonable student to faculty ratio with the class size increase.
