John A. Rupke Legacy Award

Kathleen Cowling, DO, FACEP

Kathleen Cowling, DO, FACEPDr. Cowling was born on February 29, 1964, making her a leap year baby. Within 3 months, tragedy struck and took her father in a car accident. Growing up, she and her mother traveled the world, and Dr. Cowling began to develop her love of science and biology early. Skipping grades 8 and 12, she started college at 16 after spending the summer doing research in the physiology lab at Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing on cat brains and blood flow changes under increased levels of carbon dioxide. She also became the youngest person in Michigan to become licensed as an EMT.

Completing her BS in physiology at MSU, she had already started graduate level work in biomechanics. She completed her MS while enrolling in the DO program at MSU. She graduated from MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1991, earning their award for the most outstanding woman graduate of the class.
