Many of you have expressed an interest in an Advancing Skills in Osteopathy (ASO) Course specific for your organization/program/residency. We would like to identify and schedule those requests for the 2020 calendar year. In case you are not familiar, the Advancing Skills in Osteopathy (ASO) Program is a novel continuing education program that provides participants the most advanced series of training courses in palpation world-wide. The goal of the ASO program is to provide objective feedback using state-of-the-art instrumentation to assist motivated and skilled clinicians in osteopathic principles and practices. This course will refine and standardize clinicians’ skills and provide a personal, motivational experience of osteopathic history.

The ASO program features extensive hands-on training dedicated to providing objective feedback on the accuracy of each participant’s palpatory skills. Participants will develop strategies to improve performance and interpretation of techniques through mentorship with faculty, peer critique and self-directed learning with calibrated models. These courses range from 15-30 hours and will accommodate from 7 to 12 attendees. CME credit is available, but will need to be requested when the program is booked.

If you represent a department, organization, or residency that would like to attend one of our courses during a specific time, please let us know. We would be happy to design a program that would fit into your schedule and your individual learning objectives.

We will be completing our 2020 ASO schedule by November 1, 2019, and dates will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve dates for your group’s ASO, please contact Lisa Norman at 660-626-2443 or lnorman@atsu.edu.
