The Baltimore Convention Center
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.
Let the AAO inspire the DO within you. The AAO’s 2019 program will focus on the current evidence for osteopathic practice and principles and the incorporation of osteopathic manipulative treatments into daily clinical practice. The program will be approachable for all skill levels through the lens of many different specialties. The AAO is partnering with several specialty colleges to provide high-quality, evidence-based lectures and hands-on instruction from clinicians with clinical experience in internal medicine, neurology, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, family medicine, sports medicine, and addiction medicine. Joint sessions will be held with the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians (ACOP), the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP), the AOA Bureau on Scientific Affairs and Public Health (BSAPH), the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine (AOASM), American College of Osteopathic Neurologists and Psychiatrists and the American Osteopathic Academy of Addiction Medicine (AOAAM).
Registration Information
When you register for OMED, select the AAO as one of the specialty colleges whose program you will attend to ensure the AAO receives a portion of your registration fee. This profit-sharing allows the AAO to continue providing programming at future OMED conferences. Although you can choose up to four specialty colleges, the fewer you choose, the greater the profit share for each.
See you in Baltimore!
