Fellowship Program
The Predoctoral
Fellowship Program in Osteopathic Principles and
Practice was implemented at OU-HCOM during the
1981-1982 academic year. David A. Patriquin, DO,
FAAO, then Section Head of OPP, petitioned then-Dean
Frank W. Myers for financial support for this
program. Anthony G. Chila, DO, FAAO, then Chairman
of the Department of Family Medicine, was a member
of the Section of OPP, along with Arden L. Findlay,
DO. Doctors Chila and Findlay strongly supported
Doctor Patriquin’s petition. The section had been
housed in the Department of Family Medicine since
1978. This relationship has continued to the present
time. |
|
| |
|
| At the
time this petition was generated, only a few of the
colleges of osteopathic medicine had such a program.
Predoctoral Fellowship Programs in OPP existed at
Chicago, Kirksville, and Michigan State University.
The expectation of those programs was that student
participation in the teaching of OPP would
strengthen the commitment to osteopathic practice
between and among faculty, predoctoral fellows and
the student body. At OU-HCOM, this expectation was
deemed to be a desirable outcome of predoctoral
training, and administrative approval was given for
funding. This program became the first predoctoral
fellowship program in the history of OU-HCOM. The
first student selected as a predoctoral fellow was
John E. Adams II. |

Direction of this program, since its inception, has
been provided by Department of Family Medicine
Section Heads, as follows: |
|
| |
|
|
David A. Patriquin, DO, FAAO |
1981-1990 |
|
John C. Glover, DO |
1990-1994 |
|
Anthony G. Chila, DO, FAAO |
1994-2003 |
|
David C. Eland, DO, FAAO |
2003-Present |
|
|
| |
|
| In 1990,
the Educational Council on Osteopathic Principles (ECOP)
recommended that the colleges of osteopathic
medicine adopt the name change Department/Section of
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. This was done in
order to conform to the name of the newly
constituted American Osteopathic Board of Special
Proficiency in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. |
