Tim Neely, D.O. ('10)

2005 Zinni Scholar

The Zinni Scholarship afforded Tim Neely opportunities he wouldn’t have pursued otherwise, like traveling to Africa in 2006 to research the effects of caregiving on the health of Luo elders as part of OU-COM’s Kenyan Grandparents Study.

As a student, Neely served as president of the Undergraduate Association of American Osteopathy and captain of a Relay for Life team. He also traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby legislators on medical issues as part of D.O. Day on the Hill.

Now an osteopathic manipulative medicine fellow at OU-COM, he is training to incorporate OMM into a future family practice in Summit County.

Neely first encountered both OMM and the osteopathic philosophy as a premed student at Kent State. “After working with D.O.s at the local health center there, I knew I wanted to study osteopathic medicine,” Neely says. “I’m so grateful to have had this support, and to be able to train in such a holistic, patient-centered approach to medicine.”
