Would you like to join us?
The IPCEA is always looking to engage enthusiastic, board-certified family physicians with a heart for service, teaching and embracing new cultures. Faculty appointments at an accredited U.S. medical school are required, preferably at the level of associate professor or above. Experience in teaching medical residents and/or medical students is also required.
The Significance of
“The Bridge Builder”
Inspired by a poem called “The Bridge Builder,” its interpretation in a painting is the personification of the IPCEA mission.
Understanding the Difference: What is a DO versus an MD?
What is a D.O.?
If you’re like most people, you’ve been going to physicians ever since you were born, but you’re unaware that some or all of them could have been osteopathic physicians, also known as DOs. You may not even be aware that there are two types of complete physicians in the United States—DOs and MDs.
什么是D.O.?
如果你像大多数人一样，你出生以后会时常去看医生，但你不知道其中部分或全部都是骨科医生, 也被称为DO。你甚至可能不知道，在美国有两种类型的医生-DOS和MDS。
