In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Jordan Keys, Professor Of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine at the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Keys describes what Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine is and what types of medical problems can be treated with the modality. She discusses why manual techniques are important and how they make Osteopathic Medicine distinct. Dr. Keys will discuss her "origin story," growing up in a small town in California and why she eventually moved to New York to pursue her medical training. Dr. Keys explains how she became interested in Osteopathic Manipulative therapy and why she chose to pursue a residency in Family Medicine for three years before going into a neuromuscular medicine fellowship instead of going directly into the program. She will tell us about the Osteopathic Schools she has taught at from Touro in California to Lake Erie in Florida and finally to her current home in New York. We know you will find Dr. Keys' journey inspiring.
