    On June 5, 2017, the Governor of Arizona declared a Public Health State of Emergency due to the Opioid Epidemic. More than two Arizonans were dying each day from an opioid overdose. Educational leaders from 18 Arizona undergraduate health educational programs (and registered nurse practitioner programs) gathered and agreed that a change in education must be made. Over the course of four meetings, best practices were shared and educational theories and national trends were reviewed. The group developed and systemically reviewed curriculum drafts for relevance and scope. The following foundations were established upon which to build a modern curriculum: • The link between pain and addiction • The flip to a macro-to-micro perspective on pain and addiction (a socio-psycho-biological model) • The influence of the pharmaceutical industry on clinicians 1 Define pain and addiction as multidimensional, public health problems. • The introspection of clinicians and systems, both in personal biases and excellence of care Describe the environmental, healthcare systems and care model factors that have shaped the 2 current opioid epidemic and approach to pain care. Describe the interrelated nature of pain and opioid use disorder, including their neurobiology 3 and the need for coordinated management.

    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.
