The authors describe how the format, frequency, and environment of osteopathic manipulative medicine training have changed in residency programs from prior to February 2020 to the “lockdown” period of February 2020 to June 2020, and then to the “recovery” period of July 2020 to February 2021.

This study aimed to measure the risk of recovery from chronic low back pain based on low back pain intensity and back-related functioning measures reported by participants within a pain research registry over 12 months of observation and to consider the implications for osteopathic medicine.

Rapid diagnosis of influenza infections has been shown to reduce improper or delayed treatment and to increase access to diagnostic measures in public health, primary care, and hospital-based settings. In this paper, the authors compare the sensitivity, specificity, and time to diagnosis for nine highly utilized commercial rapid influenza diagnostic tests.

In this study the authors analyze the prevalence of schoolchildren having access to asthma medications and written asthma action plans in schools. A secondary objective was to see if there were differences between urban and rural populations.

The authors assess the value and utility of an eHealth intervention for patients with chronic low back pain that was primarily based on health-related quality of life measures and also measure the clinical outcomes associated with its use.

The authors conducted a survey to see whether specific training in osteopathic manipulative medicine after osteopathic medical school was an influence in changing behavior, attitudes, and knowledge around OMT in osteopathic residents.

The goal of this study is to determine whether a summer premedical rural enrichment program held at an osteopathic medical school located in a medically underserved area will foster greater prioritization of cultural competency in medicine, enhance interest in practicing in rural or underserved areas, and increase familiarity with osteopathic medicine.

The goal of this study is to identify the impact of mask use on normal perceived physiology (breathing, heart rate, temperature, exertion, stamina, and quality of workout) within the exercising population.
