Course description:
The main concepts and procedures taught in the basic course will be reviewed throughout this course. From the fundamental introduction and experiences of the Living Bioenergy Field and the use of vibration on the physical body, this course is designed to expand the knowledge and develop the skills to realize that the Living Bioenergy Field is the place for the Osteopathic physician to put his primary focus. To learn that changes in the Living Bioenergy Field will result in a change in the physical body. The better the Osteopathic physician is able to change his awareness from physical/material world to the invisible bioenergy world and vibration, the more effective the treatment will be.

DEAN'S UPDATE August 2022
Following two Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine’s (MSUCOM) spring events – match day and graduation for the class of 2022 – and our welcome and orientation for the class of 2026 is a good time to talk about some of our partnerships and the history MSUCOM has with its associates.
With the March 2022 opening of the new McLaren Greater Lansing Hospital on the MSU campus, we’re kicking off a look at those partnerships with McLaren Health Care. While an official part of our students’ education since 1997, McLaren's osteopathic roots extend far deeper, with several current McLaren hospitals founded as osteopathic hospitals decades prior.
Historically, McLaren’s relationships had been with M.D. programs. That would change under the leadership of Phil Incarnati, president and CEO of McLaren Health Care, headquartered in Grand Blanc, Mich.
Incarnati had a history of working with D.O.s earlier in his career when he served as CEO of the Detroit Osteopathic Hospital (DOH). Once at the helm at McLaren, he formulated a growth strategy that included acquiring D.O.-started hospitals. That also opened the door for other partnerships.
Enter the new relationship between McLaren and MSUCOM.

The MOA presented a Mini Medical School at the 2022 Kelser Camp. The program joined the camp activity stations teaching healthy habits, hygiene and body functions. The campers were also presented with information on career paths to health care professions.
Thank you to Richard Bryce, DO, for providing a team of Family Practice physicians from Henry Ford Health System. Special thanks to MSUCOM graduates William Childs, DO, (class of 2020) and Abbey McKee-Boyes, DO, (class of 2022) for volunteering their time and knowledge for this annual event.
"Once again the MOA put on an amazing performance for the student-athletes attending the Gregory Kelser Basketball Camp 2022 at West Bloomfield High School. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the clinic and were very engaged and inquisitive. Thank you Dr. Bryce and the rest of the super group from Henry Ford Health for a solid session. Mini Medical School continues to help make this camp experience unique, fun, and memorable for our kids.”

Tips for parents considering COVID-19 vaccine for kids
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) signed off on COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as six months old.
FOX 17 talked with Dr. Rosemary Olivero, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital, who says this approval came at a great time.
“I think it’s actually quite interesting. Over the past six months or so, especially with the Omicron surge in the state of Michigan and throughout the United States, that actually, children in the age group where they have not had access to the vaccine have actually made up the majority of children who have been hospitalized with COVID-19,” said Dr. Olivero.

Michigan residents with COVID-19 encouraged to seek treatment options early
All individuals who test positive for COVID-19 should talk to their doctor to see if they are eligible to receive one of the COVID therapeutics.
Don’t delay, treatment must be started early to work.
The Michigan COVID-19 website includes a locator that will help people who test positive find locations where treatments are available.
Another resource is the Test to Treat program. This nationwide initiative, launched by the federal government, ensures rapid access to no-cost COVID-19 oral medications that can help reduce risk for hospitalization if someone tests positive for COVID-19 and are eligible to receive medications.
Test to Treat locations may include participating pharmacies, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), tribal health centers, urgent care locations, primary care physicians and long-term care facilities.
Learn about Test to Treat, how to participate if you receive positive test result at home, and more

ONMM residents are now eligible for ACGME sports medicine fellowships
The change became effective on July 1, 2022. Applicants can apply to fellowships online via ERAS.
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Board of Directors has approved revisions to the Sports Medicine fellowship requirements to include osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine (ONMM) as an acceptable residency for entry into the fellowship. The change became effective on July 1, 2022.
The AOA advocated for this change, along with the American Academy of Osteopathy and the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine.
Sports medicine fellowship directors can now consider prospective fellows who have completed a residency program in emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine, pediatrics, or physical medicine and rehabilitation.
