| Abstract | Osborn • Editorial T current issue of JAOA—Journal of The American Osteopathic Association includes three interesting and thoughtprovoking articles—by Leonard H. Calabrese, DO; Robert Orenstein, DO; and Felix J. Rogers, DO—that focus on the history and philosophy of osteopathic medicine. Although each article presents differing dimensions of the profession, all three pieces (1) discuss what makes osteopathic medicine distinct from allopathic practice, (2) identify common themes, and (3) suggest solutions. The history and philosophy of osteopathic medicine can be summarized as a noble social reform movement that is more than a century old. This movement, however, despite remarkable successes, is now struggling mightily to find a cohesive and distinct voice within the healthcare community—a voice that is clear and prominent when addressing the public it serves and compelling and influential within the scientific community.1 The article by Dr Calabrese (“Sir William Osler Then and Now: Thoughts for the Osteopathic Profession.” 2005;105: 245–249) and the article by Dr Orenstein (“Andrew Taylor Still and the Mayo Brothers: Convergence and Collaboration in 21st-Century Osteopathic Practice.” 2005;105:251–253) address the scope of osteopathic history from overlapping perspectives—that is, comparisons of individual and institutional personalities. The article by Dr Rogers (“Advancing a Traditional View of Osteopathic Medicine Through Clinical Practice.” 2005;105: 255–259), however, is a critical analysis of the three main ways the profession has regarded itself, sought to foster change and development, and made sense of its own history. All three articles propose a way to achieve osteopathic medicine’s “distinctiveness.” All three authors conclude that the profession’s ability to establish its distinctiveness is dependent on the ability of its members to develop a culture of research and scholarly endeavor. |
