Physician, celebrate thyself: Ideas for recognizing yourself on National Doctors’ Day Self-care and self-celebration are not indulgences—they are essential for sustained excellence in a demanding and noble profession, writes Jeanne Sandella, DO.
Record number of DOs secure residency positions through 2026 NRMP Match “With each successive Match cycle, it becomes even clearer that DO graduates are among the most sought-after physicians in the country,” said AOA CEO Kathleen S. Creason, MBA.
There have been many DOs who have served as physician to our presidents and vice presidents. Perhaps it would be good to list them all and perhaps put this out to the press as PR about our profession. That there have been a number of DOs providing health care to the most powerful men in the world is note worthy. Mar. 14, 2025, at 1:03 pm Reply
