President's Message

Dr. Blake Boggess


Dear AOASM,


OMED Boston was a huge success. I would like to thank AOASM-Second Vice President, Kate Quinn, DO, AOASM, and Brooke Miller, CMP, VEMM, AOASM Senior Meeting Planner who organized and planned an amazing program in collaboration with other osteopathic academies. I would like to highlight three items for you during this busy holiday season.


AOASM Advocacy

The AOASM, AOA, and over 80 other physician groups have come out in strong opposition to H.R. 8812, the “Improving Care and Access to Nurses Act,” known as the “I CAN Act.” The Act claims to remove outdated federal barriers to the nursing practice, which its supporters argue will improve patient access to quality health care. For example, the Act would allow non-physician practitioners to provide certain tasks and services without the supervision of a physician. In a letter to Congress, our physician organizations called the Act a “broad, sweeping bill” that if passed, would “endanger the quality of care” provided to patients. Several of the letters from organizations provided research that supports the supervisory role of physicians being involved in mid-level care.

AOASM Scholarly Activity Initiative

The AOASM Scholarly Activity Initiative was created to increase sports medicine research opportunities in AOASM. Our student representatives have worked hard to make this the best opportunity from which all members can benefit. Operating as a match-making service, the initiative is designed to pair physician and student members from across the country with similar interests to facilitate an increase in both student involvement in research as well as contributions from AOASM members to sports medicine literature.  Please email studentaoasm@gmail.com if you would like to participate.

 

AOASM Gear

I would also like to highlight the opportunity to purchase some cool AOASM gear. We’ve partnered with a Nike supplier. Please check out this amazing swag and help promote our Academy!

Remember to save the date for our Annual Clinical Conference at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, CA on April 26-29, 2023. I look forward to seeing you soon.

SAOASM Update and Upcoming Events

Written by: Trent Griner, SAOASM National Chair

Happy November, everyone! We are very proud of the year our SAOASM chapters have had so far and we are excited to feature the activities they have been involved in this year. This month, we'd like to highlight an event held by the SAOASM chapter at VCOM-Virginia. Earlier in the year, these students held an event that raised over $600 for the J. Michael Bernardo Scholarship Fund. Their Chapter President, Megan Gordon (OMS-II), shared this message about the importance and impact of the event:


"The J. Michael Bernardo Adventure Race was a triathlon-based race held at Claytor Lake State Park in Dublin, VA. Thirty-six participants competed in a one-mile kayak on the lake, a four-mile bike through the forest trails, and a three-mile run throughout the park. The race consisted of a wave of individual competitors who completed the entire race themselves and a wave of group competitors who each competed in a leg of the race. All the money raised at the event went to the J. Michael Bernardo scholarship fund in memory of J. Michael Bernardo, a VCOM student who passed away from VCOM in 2010 while serving on a medical mission trip. This race served as a reminder of the importance of exercise, spirit, comradery, and teamwork, and of the importance of our commitment to serving rural, medically underserved communities like J. Michael Bernardo."


Strong work, VCOM-Virginia Chapter of SAOASM! Students, please continue to share with us the great things your chapters are doing. Email us at studentaoasm@gmail.com so that we can feature you in a future edition of Sidelines.
