Ep.110 A Healer, Always Wanting to Know More About Health – Anna Esparham, MD

At 14 years old she contracted E.coli, which led to sepsis and many subsequent health challenges. Later a polyglandular autoimmune syndrome which led to chronic fatigue during medical school. She was disappointed there was not more education on lifestyle modifications to optimize health. This led her to seek knowledge on Integrative medicine, and acupuncture. At a Helms Medical Acupuncture Institute course she met a few osteopathic physicians who introduced her to osteopathic manipulative treatment. Finding herself living in the town where osteopathy was founded she applied to the plus one year at the ONMM residency in Kirksville, MO. Now she will be the OMM course director of the second year osteopathic medical students at ATSU. We are fortunate to have her in our profession and thank her for the work she is doing forming the next generation of osteopathic physicians.
