I was working in cardiology for Intermountain Healthcare in Utah when a DO cardiologist started working our hospital. I had never even heard of osteopathic medicine at that time. I really liked the way he practiced medicine. I started reading about DO schools and was very intrigued. I also started to notice that 2 of the ER docs were DOs and that we had an osteopathic physicians, and also one of our neurologists was a DO.
I did a lot of reading on PCOM and ATSU's websites. I really liked the idea of taking the entire person into account when treating a patient. The more I researched osteopathic medicine the more I knew that DO schools were the only schools I would apply to… and I'm glad I did.
