EyeDrD.org or I have been mentioned in the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Daily Report Blogs

February 9th, 2011: AOA Members Reach Out Online

“Speaking of reaching out, AOA members and affiliates are instrumental in connecting with patients and the public in new ways.  AOA member Tayson DeLengocky, DO, has started a website, EyeDrD.org​, to promote DOs and osteopathic medicine as well as to provide a forum for discussion of issues related to the osteopathic medical profession, such as the “MD Option” at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine as well as societal and international currents.  Since its inception in Oct. 2010, the site has generated more than 17,000 hits and is ranked in the top million websites in the world.”
 November 22nd, 2010: AOA Family Members Make News and Gain Publicity
“Osteopathic family members are making headlines in local news outlets also.  The popular physician blog KevinMD.com published commentary from AOA member Tayson DeLengocky, DO​, regarding solutions for fixing the physician shortage in Texas. Dr. DeLengocky does not believe an MD school at UNTHSC is the answer, but that expanding residency program opportunities would be a more effective path and a better use of resources.”

November 16th,2010: Great News from the AOA Family

“AOA member Tayson DeLengocky, DO, has created a blog to help spread the word about osteopathic medicine and his personal experiences as an Asian-American physician and vitreo-retinal surgeon”

May 6th, 2009: Article Advocates for Degree Preservation

“Taylor DeLengocky, DO, a member of the AOA Bureau on International Medical Education and Affairs, wrote an article for the Fort Worth (TX) Business Press supporting preservation of the osteopathic degree at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. The article, “MD Program Push at UNTHSC Sends Wrong Message,” counters several statements made by the University in justifying their exploration of an additional medical school. Rather than using its resources to create a new school, Dr. DeLengocky thinks the UNTHSC should “invest its resources in partnerships with other hospitals to create new GME sites” and “take a stand against prejudice” instead of coercing DOs to become MDs.”

March 24th, 2009: Osteopathic Family Supports DO Degree

An editorial written by Tayson DeLengocky, DO, who serves on the AOA Bureau of International Osteopathic Medical Education and Affairs, urged those in the TCOM community to “rally to defend this special osteopathic medical school, because Texas residents deserve the holistic and preventive approach to their healthcare that DOs have to offer.”
