Event: Intro to OMM

This course will: 

• provide basic and refresher knowledge and skills for program directors and core teaching faculty who supervise osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in clinics.
• help MD students and graduates obtain the prerequisites for entering osteopathic-recognized residencies. 
• be valuable for clinicians interested in adding OMT to their skill set.

Through a combination of lectures and hands-on workshops, attendees will learn the basics of osteopathic manipulative medicine, which encompasses osteopathic tenets, palpatory diagnosis and OMT.

The curriculum includes lessons on muscle energy technique; thoracic spine technique; articulatory techniques; functional techniques; myofascial release; and high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust.
