“I am flattered to have been involved in such a well written article shining light on osteopathic medicine and am excited it gained such positive recognition. My hope through voicing my opinions on the matter is to help educate readers about the inner-workings of osteopathic medicine. Being a member of the osteopathic medical community is an honor, and I am incredibly excited that I was able to represent UNECOM while providing a student's perspective into our profession" -Maria Jones, OMS-II
