Doctor and DO Advocate

In this episode of Our Voices, Our Future, we welcome Dr. Taylor Bachert, an osteopathic family medicine physician practicing near Indianapolis, Indiana, and a national leader within organized osteopathic medicine.During this episode, we talk about Dr. Bachert’s path into osteopathic medicine, what distinguishes DO training from allopathic education, and how osteopathic principles shape whole-person, patient-centered care. We also explore persistent stigma surrounding DO training, the value of primary care and continuity in a rapidly changing healthcare system, and how osteopathic physicians are uniquely positioned to advocate for both patients and the profession. Dr. Bachert shares practical advice for students and trainees navigating bias, career uncertainty, and burnout.To learn more about Dr. Bachert, you can find her on social media: Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/taybachdoTikTok: taybachdoInstagram: taybachdo You can also reach out to Dr. Bachert via email: [email protected] can find more information about the work AMWA’s Advocacy Committee has done and how to join their efforts here: https://www.amwa-doc.org/our-work/advocacy/ You can find more information about AMWA’s Gender Equity Task Force here: https://www.amwa-doc.org/our-work/initiatives/gender-equity-task-force/If you are interested in joining the group, reach out to [email protected] If you are interested in learning more about the podcast or being featured on an upcoming episode, reach out to our team at [email protected] If you are interested in joining the incredible network of women in medicine - join AMWA today at https://www.amwa-doc.org/Thank you for tuning in to Our Voices, Our Future, we will see you next time!
