President Wickless also wrote a letter to the editor of the Washington Post regarding an article, "Medical schools use outreach programs to make student bodies more diverse," that was published on 6/8/10. Offering all qualified candidates the opportunity to practice medicine is an ongoing mission for the osteopathic medical profession. Last year, the AOA renewed policies calling for programs to encourage increased enrollment of qualified minorities in osteopathic medical schools and for the advancement and integration of minorities into the osteopathic medical profession.

The Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Harlem is among the schools that recently opened its doors to train future physicians while providing access to care in a medically underserved community.
