Rafael Zegarra-Parodi is a registered osteopath in France and in the UK, and his private practice has been based in Paris since 1999. He is involved in osteopathic education and research (h-index =7), and he continues to be affiliated with the A.T. Still Research Institute in Kirksville, MO (USA). He is currently the associate editor of the International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine (IJOM) and the cofounder of BMS Formation, a French continuing professional development provider delivering courses for osteopaths that promotes historical osteopathic principles and practices with the current available evidence. Being French and Peruvian, his dual cultural background has enabled him to be aware of both the Western and traditional/complementary and alternative perspectives in the development of the osteopathic profession. He is the first author of three papers that discuss the relevance of the body–mind–spirit osteopathic tenet in contemporary care, all of which are included in a Virtual Special Issue of the IJOM titled: “Contemporary Perspectives on Historical Osteopathic Principles.” His current work in the academic field is focused on helping practicing osteopaths contextualize historical, sociocultural, and scientific information in their own practices, which can sometimes be conflicting, to better meet the specific expectations and individual values of patients during osteopathic care and to promote evidence-informed, patient-centered care.
