Item Carlton, Catherine K., D.O.(1989-02-23) Carlton, Catherine K.; Stokes, C. RayDr. Carlton, daughter of osteopathic physician parents, was the first chairman of the TCOM Department of osteopathic principles, practices, and philosophy. She has practiced in the same Fort Worth location since 1938 as a general practitioner. Dr. Carlton, a past president of the Academy of Applied Osteopathy, shares her experience during the initial years of TCOM. Interviewed by C. Ray Stokes, February 23, 1989.Item Development of the Attitudes Toward Osteopathic Principles and Practice Scale (ATOPPS): Preliminary Results(2002-05-01) Russo, David P.Russo, David P., Development of the Attitudes Toward Osteopathic Principles and Practice Scale (ATOPPS): Preliminary Results. Master of Public Health, May 2002, 11 pp., 2 tables, bibliography, 19 titles. Little is known about how student attitudes toward osteopathic principles and practice (OPP) develop and evolve over the course of their osteopathic medical education. Interviews were conducted with osteopathic medical students, osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) residents, fellows, and physician specialists. These interviews were summarized in a 39-item instrument administered to 127 students at the completion of their core OMM rotation at UNTHSC-TCOM. Factor analysis of student responses to the 39 candidate items yielded two interpretable factors. 14 of the original 39 statements were eliminated and the smaller second factor was dropped. Factor 1 contained items reflecting both positive and negative attitudes toward the application OPP in patient care, medical education, and professional distinctiveness. Two internal consistency estimates of reliability were computer for the revised 25-item ATOPPS. Estimates for the split-half coefficients for part 1 were .89, for part 2 was .87; the Spearman-Brown coefficient alpha was .93Item Osteopathic Focus in the Biomedical Sciences: A Survey of Biomedical Science Faculty at Osteopathic Medical Schools in the United States(2007-05-01) Ebert, Didi Elise; Rustin E. Reeves; Stuart Williams; Stuart WilliamsEbert, Didi E., Osteopathic Focus in the Biomedical Sciences: A Survey of Biomedical Science Faculty at Osteopathic Medical Schools in the United States. Master of Science (Clinical Research and Education), May, 2007, 73 pp., 6 tables, 2 figures, bibliography, 20 titles. The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the knowledge of osteopathic principles and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) among biomedical science faculty at osteopathic medical schools (COMs) and to assess their attitudes towards the integration of osteopathic principles and OMM concepts into the biomedical science curriculum and biomedical science research. A cross-sectional survey was administered to biomedical science research. A cross-sectional survey was administered to biomedical science faculty at COMs within the United States. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize data, and means were compared between health science center faculty and non-health science center faculty and between anatomy faculty and non-anatomy faculty. The survey response rate was 29%. Overall, survey respondents demonstrated positive attitudes and high levels of knowledge regarding osteopathic principles and less positive attitudes toward OMM. Significant differences were noted between faculty at health science centers versus faculty at non-health science centers and between anatomy faculty and non-anatomy faculty. Data from this survey may be useful in designing strategies to increase the integration of osteopathic principles into the biomedical science curriculum.
