Helping our
students find their path

The number of physicians choosing to
specialize in sports medicine is rising nationwide.
According to Lori A. Boyajian-O’Neill, D.O.,
2007 president of the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports
Medicine, “We are witnessing the development of a field
about to explode.”
The
practice trends of OU-COM graduates reflect that statement.
The number of our alumni practicing sports medicine has more
than doubled in the last five years. Although that figure
remains relatively small, graduates like Steven
Augustine, D.O. (’94), are definitely making a big impact
within the specialty. And given the popularity of the OU-COM
Surgery and Sports Medicine club, this trend shows no sign
of slowing.
To expose
our students to this and other specialties, the Office of
Alumni Affairs works with student organizations to
coordinate our annual Career Medical Specialties Series.
This September, John Walter, D.O. (’00), kicked off
the year-long series by speaking to first- and second-year
students on the related specialty of physical medicine and
rehabilitation.
Participating in our Career Medical Specialties Series is a
terrific way to reengage with OU-COM and meet your future
D.O. colleagues. Please contact your Office of Alumni
Affairs to learn how you can return to campus and speak
about your specialty or mentor students interested in your
field. I look forward to hearing from you!
