As you are well aware, we are planning our 4th DO-Touch.NET Annual Meeting which will precede the AAO Convocation in Orlando, FL, on March 16, 2016.  This pre-conference workshop will focus on adverse events in manual medicine and will offer up to 8.5 category 1-A CME credit at a reduced rate to DO-Touch.NET members. 

This rate will increase after February 15, 2016.  Details about the Annual Meeting are available on page 2.  Please note that all those who are planning to attend need to pre-register by clicking here.  Seating for this meeting is limited and on-site registration may not be available, so please register early.

This new year is passing rapidly and as we roll into February, I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that one of our research deadlines is fast approaching.  In September, the grant funded by the AAO for our DO-Touch.NET “Patient-Reported Adverse Events from Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment” study will conclude.  There is still plenty of time for DO-Touch.NET members to participate in this study.  This study is designed to easily implement into your practice and involves minimal staff and clinician time.  Members who have participated in the study have completed their required 20 patients in as little as 2 weeks.  Please let us know if you would like to participate!

Congratulations to those members who have had 20 patients complete the study!
