Hello ACOI friends and colleagues. Here we are with another holiday season upon us and the new year right around the corner. This holiday season, I hope you get to spend time with your family, friends, and loved ones. However, I know many of us will be working over the holidays. I have worked them all over the years. From New Years to Christmas and everything in between. Time away from the family this time of year can be particularly difficult, but I want to tell you a story that always helps me keep it in perspective.

Voices Across ACOI: Kesha Amin, OMS-IV

One of the events at the Annual Convention that speaks powerfully to the ACOI mission is the Student Poster Contest—as a means of sharing research, exploring quality care, creating meaningful connections, and even bringing new members into the ACOI community. One of this year's student poster winners, Kesha Amin (OMS-IV, West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine), as well as her winning poster, are shining examples of how a broad, whole-patient approach can lead to surprising insights and improved care.

Hi everyone!
