Showing off DO pride in the Buckeye State

Promoting the osteopathic medical profession is a year-long endeavor, but osteopathic pride is poised to heat up come April in the Buckeye State. Ohio Gov. John Kasich recently signed legislation designating April as Osteopathic Medicine Recognition Month in Ohio.

Rep. Terry Johnson, DO, introduced the bill in 2015 as a way to highlight the significant contributions osteopathic medicine has made towards improving the health of Ohioans.

The AOA is also promoting DO pride via its osteopathic awareness campaign, which has been spreading the word about osteopathic medicine via news articles and advertisements online and in national magazines such as People and Runner’s World.

Learn more about the campaign and its specific messaging, which DOs and osteopathic medical students can use when explaining their profession to others or promoting the profession on social media.
