Leslie M. Ching, DO, 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 at OMED 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. In addition, a workshop on the Stiles-Laughlin technique, a very useful functional approach, will be presented.

Kenneth J. Lossing, DO, will deliver the annual Thomas L. Northup Lecture. Dr. Lossing was the AAO's 2014-15 president, and he has practiced osteopathic manipulative medicine in northern California for more than 20 years.

AAO Speakers Receive Sponsorship Awards

Two of the AAO's speakers for OMED have received research sponsorship awards from the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). Aunna Herbst, DO, will address functional medicine in primary care, and Kendi L. Hensel, DO, PhD, will discuss pregnancy research.

This is the second year that the AOA has chosen to grant six research speaker sponsorship awards in lieu of developing a program that would compete with the osteopathic specialty colleges’ didactic sessions at OMED. To qualify for an award, a speaker must be a DO or PhD, and he or she must be disseminating the latest evidenced-based research and/or programs in the field of the specialty college. 

Register now at omed.osteopathic.org. When you register, list the AAO as one of the specialty colleges whose program you will attend to ensure you receive NMM specialty CME. It is anticipated that the AAO's program will be approved for up to 23 credits of NMM-specific AOA Category 1-A CME.
