Abstract
There are currently over 400 Canadian students studying at accredited Osteopathic Medical Schools in the United States, and the number of matriculants has been steadily rising annually [1]. In 2019–2020, there were approximately 100 Canadian Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) graduates and about 109 first-year matriculants [1,2]. With the increase of Canadian citizens training as Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) in the United States, it is essential to consider the positive effect this may have on the Canadian rural health care system and how these physicians can impact patients living in rural communities.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal that provides for the publication of high quality research articles and review papers that are as broad as the many disciplines that influence and underpin the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine. Particular emphasis is given to basic science research, clinical epidemiology and health social science in relation to osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine.
The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles based on both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The Editorial Board also aims to provide a forum for discourse and debate on any aspect of osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with the aim of critically evaluating existing practices in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders and somatic dysfunction. All manuscripts submitted to the IJOM are subject to a blinded review process. The categories currently available for publication include reports of original research, review papers, commentaries and articles related to clinical practice, including case reports. Further details can be found in the IJOM Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be published elsewhere.
