Dear Shar et al,From the information I gathered at a meeting last night, the school's sole purpose is to pump out primary care physicians, nothing else. This was seen as an altruistic social value versus a monetarily motivated medical school (you know who they are). I am slowly but surely trying to convince the board members of the NW Health Foundation (nwhf.org) that DC's can fill that role and have for decades. This group does a lot of advocacy at the capital. The key in my opinion is to coalesce not only our profession and en facie political relationships with other CAMs, but we must prevail amongst philanthropic groups that are well funded in their endeavors to ameliorate the social well being for all.I was nominated by one of our Senators into the pipeline for this board. I'll keep you all appraised.

Exactly, however there is nothing that requires the graduates of the new school actually practice only primary care…..many will go on to the more lucrative subspecialties and even if 100% of the graduates became PCPs it will not even be close to enough for the come universal health care system here in Oregon.

VS et al,

Can you tell us what the UWS is doing to

enhance to role of DCs as PCPs? I had wondered about the ACA delegates meeting

here and the role of UWS in the sponsorship of it. Is UWS planning a change in

focus, thinking of legislative actions ie prescription privileges or anything

else to make us more visible as PCPs?

Yes, they are planning an advance degree program with a focus on functional medicine/primary care as in non-pharmacologic interventions a Masters level degree type deal. We can act as PCPs without adding prescription authority and all the baggage that comes with dispensing drugs not the least of which is malpractice rates three and four times what we pay now. There are many evidence based natural remedies that work and so many drugs that don’t….though I’d love to be able to take patients off some of their stupid meds….e.g. statins…….Vern Saboe From: Sharron Fuchs [mailto:SharronF@...] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 2:42 PMvsaboe; Huma PierceCc: Subject: RE: Lebanon Osteopathic Medical School VS et al, Can you tell us what the UWS is doing to enhance to role of DCs as PCPs?

All, Boy, can I ever echo that sentiment. Having made a career of steering (very sick fibro) people to 'fundamental nutrition' and watching person after person after person aster person after person start to thrive and blossom .... to slowly not need one or more of those putrafacations (my choice of words)., to be able to changed from an over-medicated semi-zombi to a thinking, productive, smiling member of society is more than enough reason for me NOT to need prescriptive rights. Let the DOs have the little paper pad .... it is MUCH more fun to be the doc who 'gets 'em back in their life without drugs'! When we get prescriptive rights, our next generation will never (need to) discover what it takes to get a person out of pain .... without drugs!
