    Here is some important information for Convo 2012!  I have uploaded the Student Agenda and the Convo Flier for you all.  Please familiarize yourself with these materials as they should answer most of your questions.  Please register online at your earliest convenience as some workshops tend to fill up before others.  Check back here frequently for important updates regarding Convo!

 

If you are interested in the mentor program and have selected that option on your Convocation Registration, please fill out this application form and mail it to the AAO Office.

 

Other information can still be found in the 2011-2012 Chapter Notebook. 

 

Membership - As Osteopathic medical students we are faced with many challanges that test our knowledge, character, and abilities as future physicians. Those who are true to osteopathy have an organization to call home in the AAO. Once completed with your medical school training and moving on to residency, strongly consider joining the PAAO (Postgraduate AAO). Visit the web page (Students/Residents) or click here for a copy of their application.  Many residency programs offer free membership to the PAAO or you are able to use CME money towards membership. Continue to strive to be part of the next generation of great osteopaths and be part of the AAO!
