    Episode 040 - Celebrating AOF Award Winners Drs. MacKenzie LeMay and Bob Hostoffer

    It’s the first episode since the ACOP got together in San Antonio as part of the annual AOA OMED Conference, and the ACOPedscast is celebrating a milestone as we reach our 40th episode, and what better way to commemorate all of that than with a celebratory episode with two leaders in the ACOP family. Each year at OMED, the American Osteopathic Foundation, AOF, presents a select number of awards and this year pediatricians were well represented. Fellow-in-Training Board of Trustee member Dr. MacKenzie LeMay was the recipient of the AOF/ACOP Pediatrics Resident of the Year Award, and Dr. Bob Hostoffer, a past President of the ACOP among many other roles, was awarded the prestigious AOF Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual AOF Awards Gala! Scott and Jason were able to get both of them to sit down together in the “studio’ to discuss what it meant to them to receive this recognition from the AOF, and to talk a bit about their respective journeys to where they are now. With a great deal of reminiscing and a lot of looking forward, this month’s episode provides a double dose of inspiration for listeners in any stage of your training or career. If you need a dose of warm fuzzies to help get you through the change in weather this 40th episode of the ACOPedscast is just what the doctors ordered! Jason and Scott are always looking for show ideas and guests who’d like to come on and share your achievements with the ACOP family. If you have an idea or would like to sit down with us, reach out at pedscast@acopeds.edu for more information!

    All Things Advocacy at OMED24 - A sit-down with the VP of Advocacy and Political Affairs for the AOA, Sean Neal

    This month the ACOPedscast has its second “live on location” episode with Jason and Scott coming to you from the 2024 OMED Conference in San Antonio, Texas, and like the last on-location episode from DO Day on the Hill in Washington DC, the topic is how to serve as physician advocates. Jason and Scott also take advantage of being at the AOA’s largest annual gathering to pull a very special guest to the Pedscast, Sean Neal. Sean is part of the AOA Washington DC office and serves as the Vice President of Advocacy and Political Affairs for the organization. In this episode we get a first-hand look at how the AOA advocates for our patients and our profession and how you can get involved in legislative advocacy at all levels. We also discuss the resources available to you as members of the AOA ranging from help for the novice advocate in getting in contact with your local representatives to getting prepared to run for public office yourself! Sean explains the difference between the AOA, the American Osteopathic Information Association (AOIA), and the Osteopathic Political Action Committee (OPAC), breaking down what each arm does in relation to healthcare advocacy and how you can get involved in each. He gives us a boots-on-the-ground evaluation of the current environment on Capitol Hill. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. Look for more episodes like this in the future as Scott and Jason sit down with other members of the AOA Policy Team to learn more about the various ways the AOA supports our profession. See you in October!

In that role he has helped lead the ACOP in putting together our excellent Spring and Fall conferences for the past 3 years and counting. During this visit we decided to not only give you a preview of what to expect if you are joining us in-person in San Antonio or virtually for the ACOP track at OMED 2024, but also an in depth behind-the-scenes look into what it takes to go from the blank page to a full 4-day schedule of expert lectures covering hot topics in pediatrics. If you have ever wondered what this process looks like or are looking for possible avenues to get involved in the ACOP, this episode is full of helpful hints and insights.

    Episode 037 - Introducing the AAPO and CORK

    In this month’s episode Jason and Scott welcome Kim Wolf, DO, FACOP, FAAP to the “studio” to discuss two phenomenal organizations of which she is a pivotal part. In the ongoing dedication to expanding the reach of osteopathic manipulative medicine in pediatrics, Dr. Wolf set out to create a space to both celebrate and educate the public on the efficacy of OMT in the pediatric population. Out of this endeavor came the American Academy of Pediatric Osteopathy or AAPO.  Based in San Diego, this organization focuses primarily on the advancement of both clinical skills and academic research in the field of Pediatric Osteopathy. For those of you who attended the ACOP Spring 2024 Conference in Denver, CO, you may remember a sample of this work in the ACOP/AAPO joint sessions on Sports Injuries, Concussion, and OMT for the busy pediatrician which kicked off our conference. In addition to this Dr. Wolf also co-founded an organization dedicated to building the academic catalog of osteopathic manipulative medicine, the Conference on Osteopathic Research and Knowledge, or CORK. Dr. Wolf provides details of their first conference held in June at NYIT-COM which had approximately 100 attendees sharing the work they are doing to increase the visibility of osteopathic-focused academic research. Leaving no time, she also announces the dates for their second conference to be held in Spring also at NYIT-COM! If you are looking for inspiration or wondering if there is a place for academic exploration in osteopathic manipulative medicine, this is a perfect episode for you! (The ACOP may also make some surprise announcements in this episode as well about how to share that amazing work!!) More information on the AAPO can be found at AAPO | The American Academy of Pediatric Osteopathy (the-promise.org) and if you are looking for information about CORK follow NYIT Osteopathic Medicine Center. You can also follow them on X/Twitter at @AcademyAapo.

    Episode 036 - Staying Safe in the Summer

    With no special guests this month, Scott and Jason share the mic to discuss a very important and timely topic, especially as much of the country has been facing record high temperatures to kick off the Summer of 2024. June is the month of children putting away the schoolbooks and putting on the swimsuits and summer sports gear. While outdoor activity is vitally important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is equally as essential to ensure that children, adults, are taking part in these activities safely. From wearing proper protection on bicycles, to life vests in the water, and recognizing the signs of heat related illnesses, Scott and Jason cover a broad spectrum of ways to ensure that the whole family has fun while taking the proper precautions for a day in the sun and the heat. The two also share some of their plans for the summer months, which includes getting to meet up with each other in person when they both attend the 2024 AOA House of Delegates meeting in Chicago! Of course, what would an ACOPedscast be if there wasn’t at least a little discussion about ways to get involved and serve your profession whether it be as part of a specialty college or in this case as a member of your state and local osteopathic organizations. Happy listening! And we will see you in July when hopefully there will be a guest to help keep these two on topic! Don’t forget! If you have an idea for an episode of the ACOPedscast or would like to be a guest to talk about something you are working on or have recently achieved, please reach out at Pedscast@acopeds.org and let us know!

    Episode 034 - Live on Location... the importance of being a Physician Advocate

    With this special episode co-hosts Scott and Jason explore the importance of serving as an advocate for our profession and our patients. This episode was recorded live on location from the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC, as your hosts prepared for the kickoff of the 2024 AOA DO Day on Capitol Hill legislative conference.   Both Jason and Scott see this week in DC advocating for the osteopathic profession and our patients as equally important to what we do on a daily basis as we advocate for our patients and their families every day in our clinics or hospital units. Only by advocating for the ongoing support of our profession can we continue to provide the care that we do to our patients, and it takes us building these relationships with policy makers on both the local and national level to ensure that our needs and the needs of our patients remains in the forefront of their minds.   Jason and Scott discuss their paths to becoming champions of healthcare advocacy and why these opportunities continue to recharge their batteries annually. They also discuss ways that you can get involved at any level and how you can start to create your own “advocacy portfolio” as you progress through your osteopathic medical journey, wherever you may be on that path.  Do you want to share your advocacy journey? Or do you have another special story you’d like to share with the ACOP community? We are always looking for guests to join us for our monthly podcast!! Contact Scott and Jason at Pedscast@acopeds.org to arrange a guest appearance!!

    Episode 033 - Celebrating Match Day and Looking Ahead to Denver!

    Sometimes happy accidents happen, and this month’s episode is one of those. Due to a scheduling conflict, we could not get our scheduled guest; so a last minute audible led to one of our most exciting and interactive episodes yet! With the help of some quick recruiting and the help of some friends, Scott and Jason are joined this month by a great panel of guests for this celebratory Pedscast. ACOP fourth year student trustee Jasmine Yu and her classmate Savanna Stoy from Rocky Vista University join us first to share their stories from the recent ACGME Match Week. Student Doctor Yu matched into her selected specialty of Emergency Medicine and Student Doctor Stoy will be joining the ACOP family as a pediatrics resident! The two share openly about the nerves around receiving the first email on the Monday of Match Week and how they both managed to keep themselves distracted until the big day, 5 days later when the official email with the Match location comes in on Friday of the week. We also take a look back at our January Pedscast when Student Doctor Yu also joined us to discuss managing VSLO and the Match process to discuss what advice was helpful, and now having gone through the process were there any surprises or other information that they wish they had known. Congratulations to both Student Doctors Yu and Stoy, and to all of our OMS-4’s who are celebrating this magnificent milestone in your osteopathic medical journey!! Also joining the panel this month are the ACOP third year Student Trustee Madison Craft, OMS-2 and Student CME Chair Sukriti Prashar, and ACOP Board of Trustee member and Chair of the CME Committee David King, DO to talk about the exciting offerings for osteopathic pediatricians and pediatricians in training at our annual Spring CME Conference being held April 25-28 at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in beautiful Broomfield, CO, just minutes outside of Denver! With the theme of Bringing Osteopathy Back we have a program dedicated to integrating OMM into your daily practice in addition to more of the excellent talks by the nation’s experts that you have come to expect from the ACOP CME committee. For our medical students, the Spring CME also includes a dedicated student track built based on your requests and a moderated poster session where you can share your work… and this year we have 46 abstracts to celebrate! Looking for ways to get involved as a student?? Contact our Student Trustees at ACOPstudents@gmail.com. You can also contact Jason and Scott at Pedscast@acopeds.org if you have any requests, recommendations, or would like to join us for an episode to share your successes.
