Dr. Watson is involved with the osteopathic educational process on many levels. He serves as the Chief Academic Officer for the Centers for Osteopathic Research and Education, overseeing the OPTI functions for over 90 internships and residencies. He lectures frequently in anatomy and surgical topics and provides curricular support for the OU-COM faculty. He is an examiner for the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation and also serves as the Chairman for the Council on Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institutes.

Dr. Watson was honored by the osteopathic profession when they asked him to Chair the inaugural Osteopathic Heritage Foundation Medical Education Summit in January of 2006. This event was a profession-wide planning meeting to bring together key osteopathic educators, accreditation officials, learners and invited public figures. Dr. Watson’s interests in testing, assessment, outcomes and quality studies are central to his work and investigations. He is an advocate for research education, evidence-based medicine, and defined learning outcomes for osteopathic medical education.

 
   
   
In 2006, AHEC coordinated over 2,500 service learning hours that reached over 1,650 community
members in rural areas.
