College of Osteopathic Medicine Campaign Priorities

POTENTIAL IS REALIZED HERE These are exciting times in medicine. There are a variety of new things that physicians must be knowledgeable about, such as designer drugs, robotic surgery, and diagnostic radiology. There are also newly explored fields, such as genomics and the human brain project, that will redefine the ways physicians promote health and treat diseases. To remain at the forefront of medical progress, NSU’s College of Osteopathic Medicine has been actively engaged in curriculum revision. We are exploring what medical schools are teaching across the U.S., the new materials necessary for our students to learn, the most effective teaching modalities, and how we can present the optimal curriculum that allows our students to emerge as stellar medical residents and physicians. In addition, wellness projects are introducing us to opportunities such as humor as a healing art, guided meditation, yoga breathing, food as medicine, and the importance of exercise and sleep. It is only when we ourselves are happy and well that we can assist our patients in this journey. Research is blossoming as our faculty members find new ways of understanding health literacy, post-traumatic stress disorder, Gulf War syndrome, patient compliance to medications, the genomic basis of disease, and HIV. Please join us in promoting a renaissance in health. Elaine Wallace, D.O., M.S., M.S., M.S.
