Plain-English Summary

This resolution sets aside the week of April 14-20, 2025, as a national observance to recognize and promote osteopathic medicine, a medical practice that emphasizes treating the whole body and focuses on the relationship between the body's structure and function. The designation aims to raise public awareness about osteopathic doctors (DOs) and their contributions to healthcare alongside traditional medical doctors (MDs). This is a symbolic measure that does not create new laws or funding, but rather honors the profession during a designated week.
