As Tiffany and I get ready to celebrate the last longest break before residency, we take comfort in the fact that we have so much of a network to back us up during this time. Thank you all for your continued love and support!

Finally it’s time to share in all of our excitement and talk about Tiffany and I’s wedding! #Desomatrimony

Lets take some time to reflect on the past few months while we slowly prepare for match and reminisce on some of the good times that passed us by!

These past 8 months have flown by and included some pretty big milestones! Take a look at what’s been going on and look through all of the pictures from the past couple of months!

This past weekend I was informed that I had been selected for induction into the Gold Humanism Honor Society at the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine for the class of 2023.

Fever of unknown origin is a diagnostic paradigm to evaluate prolonged febrile illness without an established etiology despite intensive evaluation and diagnostic testing. Follow along with this presentation as Jonathan Desimone, Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine's Class of 2023 D.O. Candidate, presents this journal club presentation at the Mobile Infirmary Journal Club based on an article from the NEJM published February of 2022.

I wanted to take the time and cherish the current moment. Not but a few days ago I proposed to the absolute love of my life, and she said YES! I could not be any happier than I am now! What a surreal rush of emotions. We are beyond elated about what the future holds for us as we continue our adventure together!

Summer came and went, orientation geared us up for our 3rd year and before you know it was time to start back up and be sent into the wild. Let me catch y’all up on life as a 3rd year medical student and all that has been happening since our last installment.

Looking back this summer came and went. It feels like there is never enough time to do all that I want, but I was able to fit a lot into this summer and I am tremendously grateful for that. I cannot wait for what the next chapter of my journey will bring as I step foot into my clinical rotations.

Wow, the time certainly has flown by! Another semester behind me and I can officially say I am halfway to becoming a DO. I am halfway to becoming a doctor! I am beyond grateful for the support I have from everyone as without it I would not have been able to make it through the 31 written exams, 13 practical’s, 9 OSCE’s, 800+ lectures all the while during a global pandemic! Feel free to scroll through and check out what I have been doing the last semester.

Jonathan Desimone was honored with the ACOM Student Spotlight this January 2021. A peer nominated honor that “is designed to highlight some of the important and often unnoticed kind acts and impacts ACOM students are having in the community and around the world.”

In some cities in the US, the ratio of maternal deaths for non-Hispanic black women is up to 12 times that of the non-Hispanic white women population. We seek to identify factors contributing to this trend and what we as future healthcare professionals can do to mitigate this risk.

Check out a quick look into some different perspectives with respect to evidence based medicine and the current pandemic!

Strabismus is a condition preventing foveal alignment in normal gaze. Its effects can have long-standing impacts on physical, psychological, and social health. We report a 67-year-old female who presented with complications from long-term treatment of infantile strabismus. This case highlights differences in historical and contemporary strabismus treatments.

Wow! Is it already Fall? Seems like just yesterday I was wrapping up and getting ready to enjoy the summer. Where has the time gone? What a weird period we are in. 2020 sure is something… Let’s recap what I have been up to since I last channeled my thoughts?

Wow, does it feel good to be done with the 1st year of medical school! All the grinding, long nights, zoom sessions, and Anki cards… But taking a second to look back at the last semester and everything that happened until now brings back some good memories.

Hey Guys! Last month I was invited to talk at my old AFROTC detachments (Detachment 720 at The Pennsylvania State University) Alumni Career fair and was asked some pretty good questions about my career/experience in the USAF thus far. Had some good questions and I thought I would share some of the information!

Follow me from the beginning of my second semester of medical school to our spring break!

Sometimes all you need is a weekend getaway study break!
