Healthcare Disruptor
Posted: September 23, 2020
The founder of ATSU and osteopathic medicine came to life during the premiere of “Dr. A.T. Still: America’s Healthcare Disruptor” in fall 2019. The one-man portrayal of A.T. Still, DO, played by Patrick Lobert, PhD, told the story about the founding and growth of osteopathic medicine from Dr. Still’s perspective. Combining history and humor, the portrayal gave the audience a unique view of Dr. Still’s success story.
“It tells you about the people involved, how Kirksville came to be the place of osteopathy,” said Jason Haxton, MA, director of the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine. “The world looks at us today for what this innovative man, Andrew Taylor Still, did and how so many people benefit from it.”
