My name is Patricia Hughes and I am a 3rd year Osteopathic Medical Student.
I am a “non-traditional” medical student, meaning I took the opportunity to go to medical school later in life. I’m also a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend.
I attend Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine in Dothan, Alabama.
- My Hospice and Palliative Care Preceptor, Dr. Joanne Smith, suggested I write a blog as part of my CV. I’m taking her advice!
- I want to gain practice while presenting relevant medical information about sometimes overlooked aspects of our daily lives.
- I hope you leave my blog armed with easily do-able ways to make healthier choices. After all, if we choose well, we can D.O. life well.
