VCOM 2016 Annual Report

Student Presentations (continued)

“ Research challenges students to be strong advocates for their patients. As Osteopathic physicians, we treat the patient as a whole and engrained in our mindset is to always ask, ”What else can we do to help our patient?” In doing so, a key facet of our training is to ask deeper questions and delve into the medical literature. What are the best treatment options available for our patients?” We are not just treating numbers, we are treating people. ” - Jonathan Aun, Hamish Patel and Kinal Patel Class of 2016, VCOM–Carolinas
