I am #DOproud 🥼💪🏼⁣⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
I stand alongside my fellow DOs with the support of @aoafordos to raise national awareness of who osteopathic physicians are and what we do. We are #DOctors 🩺⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There are two types of fully licensed physicians in the United States: M.D. (allopathic) and D.O. (osteopathic). We take the same pre-requisites, study the same medical school curriculum, go to the same residency programs, and work together in hospitals and clinics around the country!⁣
⁣⁣
The main difference between a DO and an MD is that DOs have additional training in osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) — hands-on techniques that we use to diagnose and treat an array of musculoskeletal injuries or illnesses! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In addition to our own osteopathic national medical licensing exams, many of us choose to take the allopathic board exams as well (🙋🏽‍♀️).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
DOs practice in every specialty - family medicine, internal medicine, OBGYN, orthopedics, surgery, PM&R, neurology, radiology, psychiatry, dermatology, anesthesiology, and the list goes on! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣

The craziness of this year has caused us all to miss out on things we were looking forward to. For me, I didn’t get a med school graduation ceremony, didn’t get the opportunity to be hooded on stage by a fellow physician mentor, and didn’t get to have the celebration I thought I would for my residency match. But one thing I want to remind you all is that just because we didn’t get to celebrate things the way we originally thought we would doesn’t make those moments any less special. So many of you started your educations and careers in the health care field this year. And we want to CELEBRATE you!⁣

Tonight’s thoughts 🤍⁣
⁣
I originally was thinking about this in regards to the misinformation surrounding DOs in the recent media. But then the more I thought about it, it really just applies to life. #knowyourvalue

#WorldMentalHealthDay was a couple of days ago 🌻 I was looking for a throwback picture from my roughest days in medical school - first year - to post along with a caption about my own mental health struggles. But I can’t find any picture of me that accurately represents how I felt during that time in my life. 📚 Partly because I studied alone to limit distractions - so who would have casually snapped a photo of me hunched over the books? But also because I don’t whip out my phone and take a photo when I’m deep in self-doubt and anxiety. Most people don’t. ⁣
⁣
Most of MS1 year, I was in survival mode. But if you scroll back through my feed from that year, you’ll find a bunch pictures like these. Smiling photos in crisp new scrubs and pretty flat lays of study materials. I can promise you that wasn’t how I felt most of the time. I failed my very first exam of medical school, and that rocked my world. 🆘 I felt like an imposter, taking up a seat in med school when someone else would have been more deserving. My family knew, but absolutely none of my friends did. I wasn’t hiding it to “trick” people into thinking I was doing good… I was just focused on trying to hold everything together and make it through my first year of med school. I wasn’t taking pretty photos to paint a false narritave about my life.. I was taking pretty photos on the days I felt good about myself and my accomplishments. This is normal. ⁣
⁣
My point in telling you all this is to bring to light that what we see on social media is not real life. 🖼 Even if our goal is just that. I have always had the intention of being fully authentic on here. The reality is that I have the words to 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 you about my struggles and failures, but I don’t have the photos to 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 you. Despite that, I love sharing with you all on here. I just hope you can see that absolutely nobody’s life is glitz and glamour. ⁣
⁣
🥼 Also, going through all these old photos, I realize that @barco.uniforms has truly been through it all with me 💞 Through the late nights in anatomy lab, to clinical rotations, and now to residency. Thankful for a company who serves those who serve others.

These are my favorite kind of photos. The raw, simple ones that hold an entire days memory.⁣

After a long day of feeding the cows and shooting clay pigeons in the Texas heat. In between flipping the steak and chicken for homemade fajitas. Getting a little love from my man. ⁣

It’s pretty simple actually. We can always be more forgiving, more compassionate, more willing to help. 🌱🌳
