In this episode of D.O. or Do Not, we interview Dr. Melanie Jessen. Dr. Jessen is the Family Medicine Residency Director at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, Illinois. Dr. Jensen also serves as the second-year Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine course director at the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. She graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and subsequently attended the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she also completed her internship, a neurology residency, and a family medicine residency. Dr. Jessen has served as president of the Illinois Osteopathic Medical Society and was a  delegate for the American Osteopathic Association.

I hope you enjoy her journey starting as a teacher of dance and music and ultimately pivoting direction to attend medical school and become an osteopathic physician.
