Physiology of Healing: Interview with Dr. Hering

Physiology of Healing: Interview with Dr. Hering

Dr. Carmen Hering graduated from TUC’s College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2003. Since 2006, she has maintained a general medical practice in Albany, CA where she utilizes osteopathic and anthroposophic medicine. She serves as adjunct faculty at Touro University California, trains medical students and residents in her office, and serves as faculty for the annual International Postgraduate Medical Training (IPMT) program for anthroposophic medicine in the US.

What does osteopathic medicine mean to you?

For me, the principles of osteopathy are as true and relevant today as they were in Dr. Still’s time, as they are based on the study of the natural world in order to uncover its laws. If we learn to be a student of nature and develop real interest in our fellow human beings, then everything we do in our practice becomes osteopathy, from the moment the patient walks in the door.
