AAO at OMED 2017
Using Osteopathic Principles and Philosophy in Specialty Medicine
Oct. 7-10, 2017
Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia
Leslie M. Ching, DO, program chair
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. In addition, a workshop on the Stiles-Laughlin technique, a very useful functional approach, will be presented.
Among the speakers are Kendi L. Hensel, DO, PhD; Kimberly J. Wolf, DO, FACOP; Lisa E. Hart, DO; and Ava C. Stanczak, DO, FAAP, FACOP. In addition, 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.
