Rotations

Medical Student Perspectives: The Rotations team takes some time to learn about the unique pathway of osteopathic medical student, Stephen McNulty. A passionate and accomplished international photographer and photojournalist, Stephen brought images of tragic natural disasters to the public from New Zealand, Japan and throughout Asia. At some point, Stephen realized that he needed to do something more direct, and was recently accepted into the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine at Ohio University. He now seeks to translate the unique blend of experiences and his new skills to create a rapid response medical clinic that deploys to natural disasters wherever they occur. Special thanks to our Special Person off the Street, Trevor Schraeder, who also has a unique pathway to med school via the priesthood and the oil fields!

The history of science, and especially medical science, offers a steady narrative of discoveries. Sometimes, these replace old ways of doing things, but often the process is slow, as dogma and entrenched thinking linger – sometimes for centuries. This week Rotations treads onto the tangled and often controversial landscape of DOGMA, and welcomes Dr. Douglas Axe, Director of the Biologic Institute, published molecular biology scholar and author, to talk about the difficulties in challenging established ideas in the biological sciences. We also thank Assistant Professor Anna Kerr, Ph.D., research faculty in Family Medicine, as our SPOTS (Special Person off the Street).
