Two
Athens High Alumni Graduate
from OU-COM
For
two Athens High School graduates from the
early 1990s, the end of the decade marks
the realization of a major goal: their
graduation on July 11 from the Ohio
University College
of Osteopathic
Medicine
(OU-COM).
Both
women, Julie Ploutz-Adams and Mary Willy,
say that after deciding upon a career in
medicine, their decision to attend medical
school close to home grew out of their
exposure to osteopathic medicine and
OU-COM.
At
OU-COM, Ploutz-Adams was vice president of
Student Council and class secretary, as
well as being active in the Family
Practice Club and other
organizations.
At
OU-COM, Willy was chapter president of the
Student Osteopathic Medical Association.
During her tenure, the chapter received
national recognition for increasing its
membership. She also served as national
vice president for the USA International
Health Program and helped develop
initiatives at OU-COM. Her interest in
international health took her on two
four-week trips to Kenya, where she and a
dozen other OU-COM students learned about
local medical practices while helping to
provide medical care.
