Assistant Vice President for Advancement & Alumni Relations at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine
Over the past three decades, the total number of Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) and osteopathic medical students has more than quadrupled to reach 186,871 in 2023. Currently representing more than 11% of all physicians and 25% of all medical students in the U.S., the osteopathic medical profession is positioned to continue growing exponentially. Between 2010 and 2022, the number of licensed D.O. physicians increased by 89% compared with an 18% increase for M.D.s. The American Osteopathic Association tracks the growth in the number of Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine and saw those numbers rise from 47,197 in 2000 to 141,759 in 2022.

Freelance Medical Writer ▶ Let's Turn Your <data> Into "Got It" ◀ Go-To Writer on Spine and Orthopedics, Chronic Pain Therapies, and Neurology 🎻Doesn't Practice Violin Enough🎻
"It's probably just musculoskeletal." I heard it for years as a clinician — working in the musculoskeletal field. The quiet part is, "And so it's kind of out of my hands." "Musculoskeletal" is a big black box in medicine. many non-MSK clinicians don't feel comfortable dealing with it. It's true even for emergency medicine, as this study reminds us. https://lnkd.in/d98asMNx And this has implications for scientific writing about "MSK". Because the building blocks of knowledge in #msk are a bit different. Way more biomechanics, distinct imaging studies, a functional understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy. Related topics in pain physiology, interventional and surgical management, rehabilitation. Ah. The air I breathe. I've been living in it and writing about it for 2 decades. Do you need a medical writer who understands: - how a spinal implant affords coupled motion? And why it's functionally important? - the evolving role of biologics in therapies for musculoskeletal conditions? - how a patient's femoral intramedullary rod works? And how to explain it to them? If we haven't met: Hi, I'm Peter Stein. After my training as a spine specialist, I went on to research user-device interaction. All that time, I was really meant to be a medical writer. So here I am. From data, I create an accurate story you won't want to put down. Message me at stein.pj AT gmail.com or right here in LI.

Author of Kirkus Prize Finalist LIGHTNING FLOWERS | Speaker, Consultant, Mentor | Mining, Circular Economy, Medical Technology, Cardiology, Narrative Medicine, Sexuality, Reproductive Justice, Memoir | I talk to trees.
Yesterday, I met virtually with students in Stanford University School of Medicine's Summer Scholars program from a hotel room in Boulder--a thrilling conversation that I could have enjoyed for hours longer. The part of the conversation I keep coming back to was when a student asked (roughly), "How do we listen to our bodies in medical situations when the unknowns seem so big?" We talked about how comforting it can be to just put our faith in what an authority tells us to do, even if it grinds against our own suspicions. Like a scared kid, we reach for what looks like certainty--even though certainty is rarely available. We talked about the subtle pressure from family members who want to "just trust the doctor," and how we can feel unlikeable, pushy, or hysterical for delaying or refusing a treatment. The language "patient noncompliant" hits the kid part of us, trained to believe that following the directions is what makes you good. And yet listening to our bodies' deepest, quietest rumblings can be lifesaving. Most of us are not medical practitioners. There's a healthy humility available in this. Yet it doesn't mean we bring nothing to the table. We are the ones living in our bodies. We know things about our own state that no one else can. Many of us, over time, make our conditions our study. (Some of us write a book!) If we're one of just a few patients the provider has with a particular diagnostic twist--my experience in the rural West-- we may have more up-to-date information than the doctor. The way important medical conversations unfold doesn't always honor this truth. In our culture, recommendations often veer toward the invasive, the technological, the let's-do-it-just-in-case, even by well-meaning providers. Our bodies can provide the necessary counterbalance. My body knew I didn't want a defibrillator, I told the class. But I didn't know how to listen to that yet. I didn't know what other answers there might be for the threat of death. I was handed an enormous unknown and only two answers: get the device and be safe, or hold off on the device and be at risk of dying every day. It was a false binary. My ICD has at times made me unsafe. Even with one I can die. And, the ultimate human truth: *All of us* are at risk of dying every day; we just have the beautiful ability to forget for a moment. If I could have held better the uncertainty I was facing--if I wasn't surrounded by concerned family with a clear opinion who I didn't want to let down, and urged on by an electrophysiologist who saw this as the safest path (& who didn't seem to have any further tools for me)--if I had access to mental health/spiritual professionals who helped young people make big medical decisions and learn about their relationship to death-- would I have gotten a defibrillator as a 24-year-old? I don't think I would have. Enormous gratitude to Stanford Storytelling & Medicine Summer Program for having me in. https://lnkd.in/gjxZEkqX
