President: Millicent King Channell, DO, MA, FAAO, FNAOME Program Title: Dynamic Osteopathy Program Description: Many physicians struggle with appropriately providing osteopathic care for special populations, such as athletes, pediatric patients, those with pelvic floor issues (including obstetric patients), and those with other conditions limiting what type of treatment (including OMT) they can tolerate. Physicians are often unaware of additional lenses or modalities that can be used to give their patients the best care possible. This includes knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, the McKenzie method, and pelvic floor therapy. Very few physicians are aware of the potential benefits and the appropriate utilization of these services. Use of such modalities can drastically improve patients’ quality of life, decrease opioid use, improve pain relief, improve patient and physician satisfaction. After this session, physicians will be able to appropriately identify populations with particular treatment needs. They will be able to choose the appropriate OMT modality to best address the patient and the concern at hand and provide competent treatment that may include OMT. Physicians will have a broader knowledge of complementary and therapeutic options to better enhance patient care. They will be able to appropriately identify which patients would benefit from these services and refer out to them. They may also provide some basic care using these modalities in their practice or pursue further education regarding these topics. Joint sessions with American College of Osteopathic Neurologist and Psychiatrists (ACONP) and American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine (AOASM).
