Vick were devoted to providing quality healthcare to their patients through the practice and advancement of osteopathic medicine. Dr. David Vick served as associate professor for KCOM’s department of osteopathic manipulative medicine (1999-2005) and director of undergraduate teaching fellows (2001-05). Dr. Paul Vick, a psychiatrist, practiced in Springfield, Mo.
Nguyen, who will graduate from KCOM in 2010, plans to specialize in osteopathic psychiatry. “I will carry on the dream,” she said.
