What Is Osteopathic Medicine?
November 12, 2021 | 11 AM - 12PM | Osteopathic medicine is the fastest-growing medical field in the U.S., according to the U.S. Bureau of Health Professions. Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine are trained to look at the whole person from their first days of medical school, which means they see each person as more than just a collection of organ systems and body parts that may become injured or diseased. Today, more than 25 percent of medical students in the United States are training to be osteopathic physicians. Learn more about this fascinating field of primary care medicine from Malibu-based UCLA Health primary care physician Rose Milanes-Kopp, DO.
