I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and the life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature’s laws and the body’s inherent capacity for recovery. I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. I will give no drugs for deadly purposes to any person, though it be asked of me. I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them or their rightful practices. I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college I will be loyal and strive always for its best interests and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic truths to the healing arts and to develop the principles of osteopathy which were first enunciated by Andrew Taylor Still. THE BIG RED BOOK The signing of the Big Red Book is a tradition started in 2010 by the inaugural class of the William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Students “sign in” at their White Coat Ceremony in their first year of medical school and “sign out” at graduation, thus establishing a permanent record of their tenure at the institution..

  • (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.

  • 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.
