Abstract:

Over the course of their history, osteopathic medical colleges and hospitals have not been research-oriented, and many have not even been research-friendly. One problem is that the number of individuals in the osteopathic medical profession who have devoted a significant portion of their time to research has historically been small. Correspondingly, overall research productivity as measured in publications has not been considerable, internal dollars devoted to infrastructure to support research has not been a high priority, and the securing of external funding to support research projects has been limited.In this article, I want to analyze why research has not been adequately incorporated in the mission or functions of osteopathic institutions. I will also examine the unintended consequences of this failure with respect to the education of osteopathic medical students and to the beliefs and practices of osteopathic physicians. Further, I will offer a rationale as to why osteopathic institutions need to develop and foster more ambitious research commitments. Finally, I want to explore practical ways for osteopathic institutions to better contribute to intellectual and scholarly inquiry.
