D.O. or Do Not: The Osteopathic Physician's Journey for Premed & Medical Students
Jann Gael, OMS-IV is a medical school student at Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific-Northwest. Born in Amarillo, TX, he graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Biology before spending several years working at the university as an embryology research assistant. During his time in research, Gael invested his efforts towards fully characterizing fundamental physiological processes necessary for proper human development in the hopes of elucidating mechanisms that could be used to create treatments for congenital disease. Currently, in his role as a medical student, Gael believes that diligence, integrity, and a love of learning will allow him to best serve and support his future patients and peers. Focusing on the flexibility needed to view problems from different perspectives, he holds these values as essential in creating a robust and reliable foundation for treatment plans that can best address a patient's needs. Medicine offers the perfect venue in which deductive reasoning and a natural curiosity can be used to affect and improve the lives of others more directly. Passionate about the field of Pathology, Gael was drawn to the challenge of finding connections between vast amounts of information, the openness to collaboration needed to address a problem from multiple angles, and the critical thinking skills required to be successful in these endeavors. Alongside his love of science, Gael indulges in his passion for fine arts. Music has always played an instrumental part in Gael's life, even more so now in the face of COVID. In his spare time, he enjoys performing lullabies on the piano, singing (poorly but enthusiastically) to songs from the last musical he's seen, or listening to music livestreams as he sketches and writes on his weekend evenings.Tune in to learn more about Gael's path to Osteopathic medicine, passion for working with others, and his experiences navigating life and medicine as a transgender medical student.

D.O. or Do Not: The Osteopathic Physician's Journey for Premed & Medical Students
For our 4th and final Osteopathic Medicine Month episode, we had the pleasure to host Student Doctor Edith Waskel, OMS-IV, and Student Doctor Edward Ng, OMS-IV, MS. Edie and Ed are current fourth year osteopathic medical students and soon-to-be graduates of the Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (WU-COMP) in Pomona, California. Successfully beating the odds and couples matching to the University of Illinois-Chicago Emergency Medicine Residency program, they will begin their physician journey as emergency medicine interns this July. Connected to the mind, body, spirit approach of osteopathic medicine, a career as an osteopathic physician was a natural choice for Edie. As she entered medical school, she quickly recognized her passion for healthcare policy and osteopathic political advocacy and entered into leadership roles within the Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) – currently serving as the student representative on the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Board of Trustees. In this position, Edie has worked alongside Kevin Klauer, D.O., EJD, current CEO of the AOA, to help eliminate any remaining osteopathic medical student discrimination students may have encountered when applying to away rotations and residencies – a huge success for the osteopathic profession. Additionally, enthusiastic about social medicine, she has also served as the National SOMA Community Outreach Director and on the SOMA Resolutions Committee to help amplify the osteopathic medical student voice. Also aligning with his healthcare philosophy, Ed chose to pursue a career as an osteopathic physician over the allopathic route – with a bonus that WU-COMP was close to home. As a first generation American and college student, Ed's connection to medicine grew from his humble roots and desire to serve others. Like Edie, Ed chose to pursue medical school leadership positions focused on healthcare policy and osteopathic political advocacy. As a medical student, Ed served on the American Association of Osteopathic Medicine's Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents – overseeing the Mental Health Awareness Task Force. In this position, he helped to organize the Osteopathic Medical Student Day of Wellness dedicated to bringing recognition to the mental health challenges medical students face and stopping the stigma associated with mental health. Similarly to Edie, he also worked to pass osteopathic medical policy, to help further and better the profession, as an alternate voting delegate at the 2019 American Osteopathic Association House of Delegates. As they enter into the next stage of their osteopathic medical career, Edie and Ed are excited for their future together as emergency medicine residents in Chicago, IL – and hopefully, with a puppy. Tune in to learn more about their experience with the NRMP couple's match, healthcare policy and osteopathic political advocacy, and their advice for students pursuing a career in osteopathic medicine.

We found this to be a fun topic and hope you enjoy it as well. Thank you Jordan Turner for creating the perfect bumper music!
Thank you Christopher Sauceda, OMS III, for developing this topic. Thank you Rebecca Lee, OMS III, Kodee Rasmussen, OMS III, and Jake McRae, OMS IV for participating in this podcast. This is a low to modest yield podcast in terms of principles discussed that help prepare for the shelf exam. It does review depression, treatment resistant depression, treatments for depression and the study design for the studies used for approval for the FDA indications for esketamine.
Thank you Jake McRae, OMS IV, for developing this topic. Thank you Rebecca Lee, OMS III, Kodee Rasmussen, OMS III, Haley Shumway, OMS IV, Sadie Larsen, OMS III and Christopher Sauceda, OMS III for participating in this podcast. This is a low yield podcast in terms of principles discussed that help prepare for the shelf exam. It does review the risks and benefits of Droperidol, a medication that is increasingly used in ED settings for agitation, headaches and nausea.
Thank you Kodee Rasmussen, OMS III for developing this topic. Thank you Rebecca Lee, OMS III, Jake McRae, OMS IV, Garrett Garrity, OMS IV and Christopher Sauceda, OMS III for participating in this podcast. This is a low yield podcast in terms of principles discussed that help prepare for the shelf exam. It does review the diagnosis of depression, the challenges of identifying depression in a medical setting and the data surrounding recognition and treatment of depression in the setting of CABG surgery.
Thank you Garrett Garrity, OMS IV for developing this topic. Thank you Rebecca Lee, OMS III, Kodee Rasmussen, OMS III, Haley Shumway, OMS IV, Jake McRae, OMS IV and Christopher Sauceda, OMS III for participating in this podcast. This is a high yield podcast in terms of principles discussed that help prepare for the shelf exam. It is loaded with key aspects of the principles that are tested with anxiety and can help sort out 5-6 questions on the shelf that will test anxiety, depression, medical confounders and treatment of these conditions.
Thank you Garrett Garrity, OMS IV for asking this great question. Thank you Rebecca Lee, OMS III, Kodee Rasmussen, OMS III and Christopher Sauceda, OMS III for joining us on your first day on rotation! This is a low yield podcast in terms of principles discussed that help prepare for the shelf exam. To read more about Dr. Strange's very thoughtful ideas about the data concerning comparisons of care between primary care and specialists, please see https://www.annfammed.org/content/annalsfm/7/4/293.full.pdf
Thank you Angelo Garcia, OMS III for developing this topic. Thank you Rhett Dotson, OMS III and Cam Mecham, OMS IV for participating in the discussion. This podcast describes our viewpoint on the origins and current diagnosis of Atypical Depression. This contains high yield principles that are tested regarding this topic. This podcast is overall low yield in terms of time to listen for testing yield.
This podcast if for students preparing for their rotation at the Utah State Hospital with Dr. Roundy. Thank you Angelo Garcia, OMS III, Rhett Dotson, OMS III and Cam Mecham, OMS IV for participating in this podcast designed to help students prepare for their rotations with me.
Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV for developing this topic. Thank you Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Rhett Dotson, OMS III for participating in this discussion. This topic does not address principles tested in the psychiatry shelf exam. It does tackle strategies that may help students during their third year have better experiences on their rotations.
Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV, for developing this topic. In terms of test preparation, this is very low yield. This presentation describes how bath salts appeared, the effect on neurotransmitters and why this may create such a variable presentation. This was a fascinating topic to develop and fits in well with the presentations Cam developed for recognizing and treating patients in the Emergency Department that arrive with intoxication syndromes. The following articles are available freely on the internet and were found to be very helpful in understanding these compounds: De Felice article (Remarkable description of the origin and understanding of these molecules): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3944897/pdf/nihms-547873.pdf Simmons article (Comprehensive review of bath salts): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6197900/pdf/nihms967366.pdf Prosser article (An early description of bath salts): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3550219/ National Forensics Laboratory home page: https://www.nflis.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/NFLISHome.aspx
Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV for developing this topic. This is part of a group of podcasts looking at presentation and management in the ER and beyond for substances of misuse. This podcast has limited benefit for shelf and board learning and that is mostly complete by the 15 minute mark. Thank you Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Rhett Dotson, OMS III for participating. The following link takes you to the NIDA article, freely available, that provided the backbone to this discussion: https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/methamphetamine/overview
Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV, for developing this great topic. For the time (about an hour), this is a low yield podcast for shelf exam preparation. It addresses some issues that do show up on tests, but only infrequently. It has higher yield for somebody that might be interested in seeing some of the ways that scientists are looking for ways to identify schizophrenia and see if treatment is effective. It does tie together some of the aspects of the pathophysiological models of schizophrenia in a way that listeners may find interesting as well. Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV and Rhett Dotson OMS III for participating in this podcast. The article on P50 Auditory Processing that was referenced is linked below for those that would like to read an article that we found compelling. It is freely available through PubMed PMC access: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26289573/ Find more information here regarding the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium: https://www.med.unc.edu/pgc/ ed: Shortly after publish to add website information for the PGC and the link to the Javitt and Sweet article.
Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV, for developing this very interesting podcast. Early research suggests some links between use of a ketogenic diet and improvement in the schizophrenia model in mice (prepulse inhibition). Further, the effects of Beta-hydroxybutyrate seem widespread and the role that this molecule has in the fasting/starvation state also has a growing literature base. This presentation has little to no benefit for exam preparation, but was enjoyable to prepare and complete. Thank you Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Rhett Dotson, OMS III for participating in this presentation. Edited shortly after publish to correct errors in names for OMS III students.
Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV for developing this great topic. Thank you Rhett Dotson, OMS III, Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV for participating in this podcast. This podcast is of moderate value for the first 14 or so minutes with regards to principles tested on exams and the remaining information was quite fascinating and more helpful in terms of what might be of value for an emergency medicine intern. Edited shortly after publish to correct errors in names for OMS III students. Ed: 9/9/2020 to improve name of podcast to distinguish between primary care physician and the intoxicant Phencyclidine)
Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for the capstone to the series about treatment of depression. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV and Cam Mecham, OMS IV, for chipping in to provide additional expertise. This podcast reviews some of the previous information from the podcasts describing medications, but focuses on the practical implementation of those strategies. It may have more benefit for the Standardized Patient than for learning principles needed for shelf and board exams. Even though the focus is not on those exams, there is repetition of many concepts that do show up on those exams.
Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV, for developing this podcast as another step in better understanding how to tackle difficult to treat depression. Thank you Natalie Pratt OM,S IV and Cam Mecham OMS IV for joining in! This is a modest yield podcast for principles tested in exams and more helpful for understanding the options used to treat depression when it doesn't respond to first line treatments.
Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for continuation of the podcasts focused on treatment of depression in a systematic fashion. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV; Cam Mecham, OMS IV; Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Rhett Dotson, OMS III for participating in the presentation. This presentation covers high yield principles that are tested but the area of coverage is narrow.
Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for continuing a thoughtful series on treatment of depression and key principles of algorithmic treatment and key aspects of antidepressant use. This is a modest yield podcast as there will be questions regarding principles in this podcast that are likely to show up in tests. Thank you Jason Hemingway, OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating in the discussion.
Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for developing this topic. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV and Jamon Hemingway OMS IV for participating. This is a high yield discussion about principles that are tested on board and shelf exams.
Thank you Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III for developing this important and fascinating topic. Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV and Ray Kwong OMS III for participating. This presentation has limited benefit for shelf preparation, but seemed to provide a great deal of education to students (and me) to help provide better care for my patients. The current WPATH guidelines mentioned in this presentation can be found here: https://www.wpath.org/publications/soc
Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV for developing the concept of focusing on learning around a neurotransmitters and neuroanatomy. Also participating were Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III; Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV. This podcast has moderate yield regarding high value topics about dopamine and how this neurotransmitter and the location of this neurotransmitter matter for psychiatric illness and for side effects of medications.
Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV; Natalie Pratt, OMS IV and Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III for the discussion. This was an unplanned presentation that involved discussions about principles that seem to be commonly used in examination settings. This seems to be high yield.
Thank you to Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV who helped to introduce this topic. Thank you also Nuriya Gadiwalla OMS III and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating. Note that this has limited yield for students preparing for their shelf exam. It does set the stage for exploration of algorithmic treatment of depression in a series of podcasts that are anticipated to follow.
Thank you Ray Kwong, OMS III for developing the topic and finding the great articles! Thank you Brandon Trujillo OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating. This podcast is of minimal shelf exam benefit. It does address the key issues of recognition of Tourette's Syndrome and treatment that may show up on practice tests and shelf exams. This article by Kevin Black describes the ongoing research into tics and a great summary of current information about the condition. It is freely available through Pubmed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7316401/ Aripiprazole and Haloperidol have FDA indications for treatment of Tourette's, but not Risperidone. The correct pronunciation of Premonitory (very different than how we were saying it)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kaGcByXeDE ed 8/25/2020 to include correct pronunciation of "Premonitory"
The early part of this podcast has little value for the shelf exam. The end of the discussion seemed to open up a number of gems to consider during prep. The last 10 minutes is of moderate value. There is a growing literature on the effect of Gut Flora on mental health and though tantalizing, the research seems to be in very early stages. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for developing the very broad and interesting topic. Also participating in the discussion are Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV; Raymond Kwan, OMS III; and Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III all from Rocky Vista University.
Thank you Dallas Earnshaw, APRN, CNS, BS; Lance Earnshaw, OMS III; Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV for participating in this presentation. This presentation addresses reasons for the pause in podcasts and the approach the Utah State Hospital has used to reduce the risk to patients in a high risk setting. The benefit for students in terms of the shelf exam is limited. For students interested in an example of excellent medical leadership, this is a very meaningful podcast. One additional note, The comments about risk to patients were based on this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5157923/ Population based evidence suggests that antipsychotic use reduces mortality for people who have schizophrenia https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19595447/ Unforunately, people that have schizophrenia have higher mortality rates than the general population and are at higher risk based on those factors as well as factors related to being in an enclosed facility that is much like a nursing home.
So this is the long lost Dr. Jamrose series. Basically we recorded this well over a year ago and Todd Jamrose was terrific about spending time speaking with us about why psychiatry matters. We examine all sorts of things in this series about psychopharmacology, clinical psychiatry, acute in-patient psychiatry, VA Health Care and all manner of other things. Mara Leyendecker OMS II hosted this and now she is an OMS IV. So you will hear her voice in this as well. Psychiatry is an underserved specialty that has more spots available in the country than graduate residents to fill them. Mara wants to be a psychiatrist and she will get into that as well. So hopefully this foray into the world of the mind, body, spirit and how they work together will inspire some of you. If not, understand that Dr. Jamrose is an avid hockey fan (Go Bluejackets!) and Dungeons an Dragons player. He has an astute affinity for comic book pop culture and will speak with anyone who wants to understand why Green Lantern is the best superhero. Fredricks disagrees with him because he is purely devoted to Captain America and The Winter Soldier. So join us as we rant and riff along with one of the funniest and least self-conscious physicians that you will ever meet. Dr. Jamrose has been a practicing paramedic, high school band director and acutely focused on caring for those who struggle daily with broken brains, emotions and trauma. He is a refreshing guy with whom to talk medicine and spend a few hours watching the crease at Nationwide.
