Just curious who I'll get to see there...
Yeah it's pretty fun every year... not only because you get to see a huge variety of lectures, workshops, techniques, treatment styles, etc., but also because you meet so many students from other schools and can all gripe about your respective schools together while having a drink! It really is a lot of fun. Those who are interested also check out the Evening with the Stars every night where you can hob-nob with whatever well-known osteopath is hanging out around the tables. Pretty good stuff... just not sure what there is to do in Alabama. Next year should be back in Colorado Springs.. don't want to miss that!box29 said:I'll be there...I'm leaving Wednesday. I'm pretty excited since I've heard other people's experiences.

The workshops are good, make sure you take notes so that you dont' forget the techniques. The social events are good, just don't know what to do in Alabama. It's a fun time. Hopefully the workshops and lecturse make up for the location. Colorado Springs is beautiful, hopefully I can make it there next year.

While you're there, visit (you'll practically have to in order to go south of town or "over the mountain" as we say) one of the premier medical centers for clinical training and research in the country. Unfortunately, not much DO presence there yet, but this is slowly changing.

Congrats on TIRR! I don't recall if I saw you post your results in the PM&R sub-forums or not, but if not, definitely join us over there and let everyone know where you'll be headed. I'm originally from Houston although I've been out in SoCal for awhile, and you'll love the city for sure.OMMFellow06 said:I've gone the past 3 years and it's great.
