Robert N. Agnello, DO, FACOFP, program chair
Hosted by the American Osteopathic Association, OMED is an annual medical conference bringing together thousands of osteopathic physicians, medical students and other health professionals from across the country.
The AAO’s program will present various viewpoints on incorporating osteopathic principles into the practice of different specialties. The AAO is partnering with several specialty colleges to provide lectures and hands-on instruction from specialists with clinical experience in internal medicine, neurology, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, family medicine and sports medicine.
IMPORTANT: When you register, be sure to identify the AAO as one of the specialty colleges whose program you will attend. Doing so will allow AOA to allocate funds to offset the AAO's costs.
