If you are a D.O., M.D., or another licensed medical practitioner interested in learning about or increasing your skills in osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) this series is for you.
Overview
This course for practicing D.O.s, M.D.s, or other licensed medical practitioners taught by experienced osteopathic specialists, is offered annually in a series of five weekend sessions. With a strong hands-on skill-building emphasis, it affords an opportunity to review or learn as a beginner some of the core osteopathic manual medicine techniques.
Each session consists of a potential 20 hours of lecture and hands-on skills training. It is composed of 8 hours of introduction to osteopathic medicine on Friday, followed by 12 hours of clinical application on Saturday and Sunday.
Sessions
The Introductory Session is required for practicing D.O.s and M.D.s who have not had prior training in osteopathic medicine. This session also serves as an excellent review for the practicing D.O.s and M.D.s with previous osteopathic experience and/or training. This session is only required to be taken once but can be taken as often as desired.
The Clinical Application Session allows the participant to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the Introductory Session to the selected regions of the body. Participants practice and experience manual techniques during the supervised table training exercises.
Disclaimer
This program is designed to improve understanding of manual techniques for licensed health care professionals within their respective scopes of practice. Enrollment in a class is not a substitute for completion of education and training in a college of osteopathic medicine. Taking a course in manual techniques does not provide the necessary training and skills to practice osteopathic manipulative treatment and/or osteopathic manipulative medicine.
