Summary
Osteopathic graduate medical education saw record numbers in 2007, with over 3100 graduates. More osteopathic physicians are entering American Osteopathic Association (AOA) internships and residencies.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Graduate Medical Education
- Osteopathic Medicine
Background:
- Recent years have seen significant developments in osteopathic graduate medical education.
- The number of osteopathic graduates has shown an upward trend, reaching a historical high.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze trends in osteopathic graduate medical education participation and matching.
- To compare American Osteopathic Association (AOA) data with American Council of Graduate Medical Education data for osteopathic physicians in allopathic residencies.
- To provide a summary of upcoming changes to traditional osteopathic internships.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of AOA "Match" program data for 2006 and 2007.
- Inclusion of post-Match scramble data for internship and residency positions.
- Comparison of AOA data with American Council of Graduate Medical Education data.
Main Results:
- Osteopathic graduates in 2007 surpassed 3000 for the first time.
- A significant percentage of osteopathic graduates participated and matched in the AOA "Match" program in 2006 and 2007.
- The number of osteopathic graduates and previous graduates in AOA-approved internship positions increased substantially in 2006 and 2007.
- Filled osteopathic residency positions saw a 5% increase for the 2006-2007 academic year.
Conclusions:
- Osteopathic graduate medical education is experiencing growth and increased participation.
- There is a notable trend of osteopathic physicians entering both AOA-approved and allopathic residency programs.
- Upcoming restructuring of traditional osteopathic internships is set to impact graduate medical education.

01:29Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

01:26Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

01:26Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

01:30Methods of Documentation VII: EMR
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...
01:30Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
