The Journal of the Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association has hit the reset button too since our last issue published – in print – in Winter 2023. Obviously, you already have noticed that it is being delivered to you in a completely digital format. This change is part of the current Strategic Plan of POMA. It happens to have coincided with the unfortunate death of the former editor-in-chief, Mark Abraham, DO, JD, who shepherded us toward this change in his editorial in the last issue. I do not wish to restate all the benefits of this change, but I will draw your attention to some of the changes. Three times a year, you can expect a high-quality journal delivered to your inbox, which will include topics such as peer-reviewed research, academics, business, advocacy, and creative submissions. We welcome members to make submissions to any or all of these categories. The digital format will allow us to reach a wider audience and get a feel for what our members like and what they don’t like as much, and for you to easily click between articles that catch your attention. It also allows us to provide content to you not typically provided by a journal, such as video presentations of posters. Finally, it allows us flexibility to provide you the most current and useful information affecting osteopathic physicians in Pennsylvania.

The JPOMA you are now reading would not have been possible without many hours of work from our committee members and especially our managing editor, Brenda Dill. I would like to thank all of them for their work. Additionally, thanks are due to all those who have worked on this publication before us, providing a solid groundwork for us to build upon.

I sincerely doubt that you’ll find this issue as exhilarating as a ride on the bumper cars (nor as bumpy), but I do hope that the delay while we reset was worth it just the same. Enjoy the first digital edition of The Journal of the Pennsylvania Medical Association!
