Jordan Keys, DO, AAO Convocation 2027 Program Chair Bridging Research & Practice to Advance Osteopathic MedicineThe 2027 AAO Convocation will highlight the vital relationship between clinical practice and research in advancing osteopathic medicine.

Featured presentations and hands-on workshops from osteopathic leaders will bridge research and practice Topics will span pediatrics, adult pain, sports medicine, geriatrics, and neurodegenerative concerns. Clinical insights and practice will be supported with scientific evidence. The conference will demonstrate how osteopathic medicine continues to grow, innovate, and advance the care of patients through both practice and research.

Who May Attend Convocation?The AAO’s primary educational objective is to provide programs that enhance the philosophical foundation, palpatory diagnostic skills, and manipulative techniques of AAO members, nonmember DOs, other individuals who are licensed for the unlimited scope of practice of medicine, and those in programs leading to such licensure. Although other health care professionals are welcome to learn about osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) at AAO programs, attending the AAO’s Convocation or its Pre-Convocation courses is not a substitute for graduating from osteopathic medical school and completing graduate medical education. Simply participating in continuing medical education programs in manual techniques does not provide the necessary training and skills to practice OMM.
