One of the most misunderstood concepts of the late 20th Century is the difference between a legal Power of Attorney and a Power of Attorney for Healthcare. Most people understand the first one but not the difference in the two,

Once a doctor had come to chart in a patient’s chart. He wrote LOC, several of us nurses discussed it, “She didn’t have any loss of consciousness!” So I grabbed the chart and took off running to catch the doctor as he was pulling out of his parking spot. “Doc, our patient didn’t have any loss of consciousness!” He just sat there and gave me a “doctor’s look”. “Its laxative of choice.”

When I was a student I had to trace an infection that was beginning to streak. I was watching the spread throughout my shift and tracing the spread with my pen, as we had learned to do. One of my fellow students happened to notice the “drawing” and asked me why I was drawing an anatomically correct penis on my little lady’s leg.

Mission Statement
: Enhance the quality of osteopathic ophthalmology and neurology education through a partnership of hospitals and Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

The Consortium of Osteopathic Residencies in Ophthalmology (CORO) boasts five ophthalmology residency programs in the Statewide Campus System (SCS): The Detroit Osteopathic Ophthalmology Consortium, Genesys Regional Medical Center, Hillsdale Community Health Center, Metropolitan Health Hospital and Oakwood Healthcare System. Together they have a total of 28 AOA-approved residency positions, three times the size of any similar organization in the profession.

Historically, CORO started in 1989, predating much of MSU's current statewide campus system. The consortium started through a partnership forged with these hospitals and the current MSU Department of Neurology and Ophthalmology. Essentially all the original individual members of the Program Advisory Committee (PAC) remain from 1989. The aim was simply to improve osteopathic educational opportunities for ophthalmology residents. Throughout the past 24 years, this has been achieved by initiating many leading edge ideas for the SCS including minimal competency requirements for residents, monthly MSU didactic lecture series, bi-weekly desktop video conferencing sessions, intense neuro-ophthalmology rotations and most recently, acquisition of an ophthalmic surgery simulator located on the campus of Michigan State University available for residents to use.

Today, a three year spiral curriculum based on the American Academy of Ophthalmology Basic Science Curriculum is presented at the monthly on-campus didactic sessions and through synchronous distance learning interactive TV (ITV). These sessions enhance the program by providing opportunity for review of current topics in ophthalmology, case presentations and journal articles with residents and faculty from all the programs. The live conferences incorporate a visiting professor program and ophthalmology teaching faculty from within the SCS and well beyond.

To expand the programmatic mission of improving osteopathic ophthalmology nationwide, CORO has broadcasted the monthly didactic program and the bi-weekly ITV sessions to ophthalmology residencies in Nevada, Ohio and Oklahoma. Discussions are in place to include programs from other states that have shown interest in participating.

The teaching portfolio of CORO also includes an outstanding fellowship opportunity in Neuro-Ophthalmology on campus at MSU. There have also been fellowships in Cataract and Refractive Surgery at various locations in Michigan.

The quote: "We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own" by Ben Sweetland, expresses one reason many become involved in medical education. The PAC and the support staff of these ophthalmology programs takes great pride in the outstanding ophthalmologists whome they have helped graduate into the world.

OCII—the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure—is the driving force in creating three new San Francisco inclusive neighborhoods—

. Through public-private partnerships, OCII is bringing to life over 1,100 acres of land. Reflecting the diverse character of the City and its residents, the new neighborhoods feature economic vitality, affordable and market rate housing opportunities, and neighborhood-serving amenities such as public parks and open space.​

OCII’s work is vital to the Mayor’s plan to create 30,000 housing units by 2020, with one third of those units as permanently affordable. Working with nonprofit and for profit developers, OCII is leading the creation of thousands of

units in the three new neighborhoods, as well as units in other redevelopment project areas. OCII’s work will result in more than 3,500 affordable units produced by 2020—more than one-third of the Mayor’s goal.

OCII is a state-authorized local entity serving as the successor to the former San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. All 400 redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved in February 2012 by order of the California Supreme Court in a decision issued in December 2011. OCII is unique among successor agencies to former redevelopment agencies in that it has long-term major development projects approved by the State and requiring the exercise of broad redevelopment authority, including tax increment financing, affordable housing production, and project-specific design and land use approvals.
