“The best doctors are the ones that people love. So that’s what I aspire to be. Because personally, all I care about is that I know my family physician cares about me. That they take the time to know who I am, know my family, know what I did last year, know what school I’m in. That makes me feel more comfortable about going to them, sharing things about my health that I normally wouldn’t share with someone else. Obviously you have to have some sort of relationship with your physician to have that trust, so I think that’s really important because otherwise you’re not going to get anywhere. A lot of health is in telling the truth.” Alexandra Bowles, OMS-IV #HumansofOUHCOM #careleadshere#ouhcom #ohiouniversity #medstudent (photograph by @marlenasloss)

Since 1993, the percentage of female osteopathic physicians in the U.S. has increased from 18% to 41%. For Women’s History Month, we celebrate women of OUHCOM and their dedication the medical profession. Archival images are from the 1980s and 1990s. *Statistic: AOA’s 2018 Osteopathic Medical Profession Report. #throwbackthursday #tbt #CareLeadsHere #vintage #medschool #medstudent #ohiouniversity #ouhcom #WomensHistoryMonth #WomeninMedicine (photographs by @ouhcom)

Heritage College and Cleveland Clinic are transforming medical education to meet the growing need for primary care physicians and to provide the best care for patients. We’ve responded to the rapid and dramatic changes in health care delivery with our own dramatic changes to the way physicians are trained. Our Transformative Care Continuum (TCC) is an accelerated demonstration project, from medical school through residency, with deep experiences with patients and health care delivery teams at its foundation. Have a look at this visual vignette of a day-in-the-life of two of our TCC students, Palmer and Olga, working and learning alongside health professionals at the Cleveland Clinic Lakewood Family Health Center. #TransformativeCareContinuum #ClevelandClinic #Visionary #HealthCare #medicaleducation #MedStudent #osteopathicmedicine (photographs by @facun)

“My mom passed away in 2009. She got sick and didn’t get medical care in time. I really didn’t understand everything about it because I was in boarding school. I think she got something from the pharmacy and they were telling her she had some kidney problems. And then she didn’t feel well, she went back to the hospital, they gave her another medication, and she had a sudden death. The medical care in Rwanda is a problem; life expectancy there is 50-something. Here, people are able to live longer because they can go to the hospital and they take care of them. That made me feel like I really have to do something with my life, something that can affect more lives. I understand that anything can affect people, the way they live. If you make a good iPhone, if you launch a restaurant you affect people because you make them happy. But I feel like this is a way that I can go and just shine.” -Eric Niwemukiza, OMS-III #HumansofOUHCOM #careleadshere #ouhcom #ohiouniversity #medstudent (photograph @marlenasloss)
