Diane Lui, OMS II

2009 Zinni Scholar

Diane Lui has been fascinated with the mind and body since she was a little girl. “I remember watching ‘The Magic School Bus’ about anatomy and wanting to learn about how everything in the body works,” she laughs.

As a psychology major, Lui shadowed Robert Truax, D.O., at University Hospitals Case Medical Center.

“He did OMM, and I was amazed—I would see patients come in complaining about aches and pains and leave feeling better,” she says. During a visit this summer Lui was able to assist Truax with osteopathic manipulative medicine.

Lui hopes to do medical service work in Latin America, where her Spanish skills will come in handy. But ultimately, she plans to return to Cleveland to practice primary care.

“I’m so impressed that people care enough to help,” Lui says. “This scholarship is such a blessing. With less financial worries upon graduation, I can truly focus on what’s most important: my future patients and giving back to the community.”
