Still Relevant: JAOA seeks historical vignettes for new section

In recognition of the centennial of the death of the profession’s founder Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO, The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association (JAOA) is accepting contributions for a new section devoted to how the profession’s history meshes with the modern health care landscape.

Contributions to this section, launching in January, should be interesting historical vignettes with a brief discussion of how the topic is relevant to the future of health care, such as:

• A brief analysis of a quote from Dr. Still.
• A discussion of a current health care issue through the lens of one of the founding principles of osteopathic medicine.
• A look back at osteopathic history and where we are today.

Submissions should be 500 words with a maximum of five references. One photograph or figure may be included if relevant. All manuscripts are subject to the review and approval of the AOA editor in chief.
