91会所's Wood College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-WCOM) students are making strides in medical research. Congratulations to third-year osteopathic medical students Juan Cuecha and Allison Welz, alongside MU-WCOM’s Dr. Brian Skinner.
Together, they published an editorial focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of acquired hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (AHO), a rare bone disease, particularly in resource-limited communities. Their work emphasizes the unique challenges in identifying and managing AHO, stressing the importance of raising awareness among healthcare providers and fostering collaboration to better address this under-recognized condition.
Their editorial underscores MU-WCOM's commitment to medical advancement and community health. By spotlighting conditions like AHO, they aim to contribute to more effective healthcare strategies for underserved populations, highlighting the need for innovative solutions in global health.
