8. Which of the following best describes your view of Osteopathic Principles and Practices and it's role in our education as Osteopathic Physicians?

Which of the following best describes your view of Osteopathic Principles and Practices and it's role in our education as Osteopathic Physicians? It is a waste of time and does nothing to prepare me to be a good physician. The time would be better spent on teaching in other areas.

It may have some theoretical value, but I don't think it's worth the time that is dedicated to it.

I think it's valuable and has it's place in the curriculum, but it is not as important as the other subjects we are taught.

I find it to be very applicable to total patient care. It is just as important a part of our education as any other subject.

It is key to our education. It is the foundation of our entire profession and should be treated as such! It should have a larger portion of our curriculum dedicated to it!
