So..... This thread is primarily directed to those students that chose Osteopathic Medical school because they want to be Osteopaths, in the lineage, of Still, Sutherland, etc. Those who want to be able to feel and understand physiology and anatomy with their minds as well as their hands. Those that want to be able to treat with their hands, and not only with drugs. Those who believe in the bodies ability to heal itself and are eager to learn about this mechanism, and as Osteopaths help awaken this mechanism in others. Whatever reason anyone came to Osteopathic Medical school is very personal, I would like to start a dialogue with the ones interested in Osteopathy.
I am an OMSI, and so far Osteopathy is not really taught at my school. We do have OMM, and it is still early on. But even our OMM class, information is just thrown at us. Osteopathy and OMM is a stepwise learning process, and the basics of palpation must be understood well to move on.
I've joined the UAAO, hang out in the OMM lab, but I want more! The feedback I get from professors and fellows is to practice on my classmates. But I can practice my palpation skills without paying $ 35000 a year. So, what do you think? How should we get the most out of our education.
It's all so silly, basically spending 2 years so that we can pass the boards. No justice given the Osteopathic tenets except in one lecture. OK, so, let me know what you think. JP? Chime in....
