Course Information

This OMM session is designed for all physicians who incorporate OMT into their practice and/or who provide osteopathic clinical teaching. Many contributions to the osteopathic profession have occurred over several decades. Several colleges of osteopathic medicine have been established over the past 2 decades. Medical education has several generational (Traditional to Millennials) perspectives incorporated into teaching. The collaboration and integration of all generations is essential to success at every level of training and CME. A physician’s osteopathic knowledge base and application of osteopathic principles vary based on the year a physician graduated, institution of training, residency training and specialty. This CME event will discuss basic principles of diagnosis and treatment for all physicians regardless of when and where they trained. The hands-on OMM portion will incorporate the principles of diagnosis and treatment into the general approach to providing OMM to individual patients. The hands-on portion will provide individualized assistance at the table to build on your skill. Participants who complete this session can incorporate changes into their osteopathic care and teaching that will benefit the patient, teacher, and student.
