Medical Education, American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, Bethesda, USA Corresponding author: Tyler C. Cymet, [email protected] Abstract When the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a global health emergency, Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (COMs) debated the role of medical students during this developing pandemic. Initially, the discussion included whether medical students were essential personnel contributing to meaningful patient care. Many questions arose regarding how COVID-19 would affect medical education and if the changes would be temporary or continue for a significant period of time. Due to the lack of availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) and a decreased focus on clinical education within many healthcare settings, in March the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) declared that medical students were not essential personnel and recommended that COMs take a ‘pause’ and remove students from the clinical environment. This ‘pause’ would allow COMs time to assess where medical education could continue, to define the critical pieces of clinical education that required a clinical environment and to address how medical students could contribute during the pandemic.

  • Body, Mind, and Spirit: Essays by Osteopathic Medical
    BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT Essays from Osteopathic Medicale Students E Editor: Tyler Cymet, DO Copyright © 2018 American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine. All Rights Reserved. 978-0-9974411-5-4 INTRODUCTION TYLER CYMET, DO riting is a way of sharing thoughts and start- ing conversations. The act of putting ideas on Wpaper or computer pushes a writer to build upon those thoughts while structuring them in a way that is engaging to a wide audience. Through effective writ- ing, the author can show how his or her shared ideas fit into the larger society, and how individuals, groups, and even a profession can be defined within the society. These essays are the work of osteopathic medical students grappling with the issues of the day. The writ- ings shed light on how the osteopathic medical profes- sion looks at health, how it practices health care, and how it views itself within the larger health care system. They come at a time of evolution within the profession. Osteopathic medicine is currently going through major changes. The profession is expressing its commitment to a single standard for all physicians, including a single grad- uation medical education accreditation system, regardless of the specific designation or degree that the individual has earned. The same basic standards must be applied to all fully-trained physicians, and all physicians with the same title must be considered at the same level—regardless of whether they are DOs or MDs. However, the osteopathic medical profession is also committed to maintaining its distinctive characteristics. The field of osteopathic medicine is established on a philoso- phy of care that starts from the patient, aiming to optimize the health and functionality of the person’s body, mind, and spirit.
