O ver the past 2 decades, there has been a growing body of literature detailing disparities in health and health care, especially in rural areas. As population health care needs increase, the health care workforce shortage continues to be a focal point of discussion among stakeholders in policy, education, and residency training. In addition, the need for increased diversity of health care teams provides another area of concern. Osteopathic medical schools and osteopathic educators have been tasked to explore innovative approaches to increase student body diversity and address interest in rural and underserved areas. This educational discussion has targeted a continued need for increased diversity in rural medicine and an increase in the number of primary care providers to address health disparities. The discussion has also expanded the concept of collaborative practice from interprofessional education in the classroom setting to include students at all levels in the clinical learning environment.

“…There are a few instruments intended to measure attitudes, orientation, and beliefs toward aspects of osteopathic medicine, such as osteopathic principles, 4 osteopathic manipulative treatment, osteopathic philosophy, [5][6][7][8] and osteopathic education. 9 However, these instruments have not been supported by strong psychometric, especially validity evidence. Study participants were often accessible samples from a single institution and insufficient in size.…”

Context Nationwide Children’s Hospital (NCH) has a large pediatric residency program with 43 residents in the categorical pediatric program and 10 residents in the Internal Medicine-Pediatrics (IM-Peds) program per class. Of the 43 categorical pediatric residents, four are in the osteopathic recognition track (ORT) and continue their osteopathic education throughout residency. There is currently a lack of data examining the effect of an ORT, and specifically a pediatric ORT, on a residency program. Objective To evaluate the impact of an ORT osteopathic recognition track on an overall residency program’s perceptions of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and to evaluate allopathic (MD) resident perception of osteopathic educational sessions. Methods An anonymous survey was conducted in June 2017 and distributed to 141 residents (both categorical and IM-Peds) to gather baseline information regarding perceptions and knowledge of OMT. Based on the initial results, a four-part case-based educational series was implemented during the 2018–2019 academic year to teach osteopathic principles to MD residents. A second survey was distributed following each session. Results For the initial survey, 59 (41.8%) residents responded. Survey results demonstrated that resident perceptions of OMT as an efficacious treatment option increased after starting their residency at NCH (p=0.04), and 25 of 43 (58.1%) MD residents stated an interest in learning OMT skills. A total of 140 attendees were present at the four educational sessions. One hundred and thirty-eight residents (98.5%) found the educational sessions beneficial and 132 (94.2%) stated they would refer a patient for OMT. Conclusion ORT residents make a significant impact on their colleagues’ perceptions and knowledge of OMT. This study suggests that further efforts to highlight the clinical applications of OMT in pediatric patients would be welcomed by residents.
