Osteopathic education in surgery has undergone significant changes, especially with the transition to a single ACGME accreditation system in 2020. Despite initial concerns about equitable access and representation, studies have highlighted increasing competitiveness of osteopathic medical students in surgical residency matches and comparable outcomes between allopathic and osteopathic surgeons, affirming the quality of osteopathic training. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Kristen Conrad-Schnetz, recent president of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons (ACOS) and General Surgery program director at Cleveland Clinic South Pointe Hospital, about osteopathy in general surgery. We delve into the role of osteopathic principles in surgical training and practice and the impact of transitioning to a single accreditation system. Dr. Conrad-Schnetz shares insights on overcoming misconceptions about DO surgeons and her vision for the future of osteopathic recognition in surgery.
Join hosts Pooja Varman MD, Judith French PhD, and Jeremy Lipman MD, MHPE for this exciting conversation with Kristen Conrad-Schnetz, DO.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to
1. List the four tenets of osteopathic medicine
2. Identify how osteopathic principles and practices can be incorporated into surgical practice
3. Explain the significance of osteopathic recognition in residency programs
4. Discuss strategies for promoting equity for DO surgery residents

In this episode, we dive into the 2024 guidelines from the Surgical Infection Society (SIS). Using a case-based approach, we explore how the updated guidelines impact clinical decision-making in the management of intra-abdominal infections. Our expert guests break down best practices while emphasizing the importance of timely intervention, appropriate antibiotic selection, and the evolving role of local antibiograms in guiding therapy. Listeners will gain practical insights into the newest evidence-based recommendations, including when to shorten antibiotic courses, how to tailor therapy for individual patients, and the critical need for early source control. Whether you're a seasoned clinician or a trainee, this case-based discussion provides actionable takeaways for improving patient outcomes in surgical infections.
Take Home Points:
- Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance are continuously evolving. It’s essential to stay updated with current guidelines, consult your local antibiogram, and utilize available antimicrobial options to create an informed and effective treatment plan
- Shorter course antibiotics for intra-abdominal infections are generally well tolerated, but careful patient selection is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
- In cases of complicated appendicitis, antibiotics should be discontinued within 24-48 hours after effective source control is achieved.
- Time is life – early administration of appropriate antibiotics and prompt, definitive source control are key to improving patient outcomes

In this episode by the Emergency General Surgery team, we explore the inevitable in acute care surgery- complications. Once a taboo subject, we are now beginning to understand how surgeons and care teams are affected when things don't go as planned. The team discusses two articles that explore the impact of surgical complications on surgeons, both in the short and long term, as well as ways to rehabilitate and support surgeons when they face a challenging complication. Drawing on the article, as well as personal experience, this episode works towards the ongoing shift in surgical culture around outcomes and supports improved surgeon wellness.
