Episode 126: Dr. Mylhan Myers, DO: Rural Family Medicine- Kicking it Old School. . . and delivering babies to boot!
In today’s episode we will share with you an amazing rural family practice physician who represents the pinnacle of what all Osteopathic Physicians should strive to be. Dr. Mylhan Myers was born in southern Missouri in an “Osteopathic Family” with multiple members who attended A.T. Still University in Kirksville. Not surprisingly, with this background Dr. Meyers followed in their footsteps and knew early on that he wanted to go into Family Medicine. Dr. Meyers found a passion for OB/GYN and decided to not only do his residency in Medicine Residency in Wichita, KS, but an OB/GYN fellowship as well. He ultimately moved back to his hometown to come full circle with his practice.
During the interview, Dr. Myers paints a beautiful picture of his practice which seamlessly interweaves him into the fabric of community with deep patient relationships relationships in the outpatient clinic and ranging to inpatient medicine in the hospital as well as the delivery of babies which has always been his passion. He describes his time in military and the perspectives it provided him through his journey. We hope you enjoy this evocative episode.
