Bridging Gaps in Osteopathic Medicine

Over 10% of WMed faculty have training in osteopathic medicine or have graduated from a school of osteopathic medicine. This conference aims to bridge the gaps in knowledge and practice for clinical faculty who have not trained in osteopathic medicine and re-engage those clinicians with prior training who have not practiced their skills in quite some time. Ever wondered how you could use osteopathic medicine to support your patients? This conference will provide an opportunity to explore how this can be a useful modality. As part of this conference, workshops and plenaries are planned via concurrent sessions to develop and support multiple skill levels.
