Description

The Missing Link: OMT for Women and Children
Meaghan Nelsen, DO

In this dynamic, interactive, case-based session, attendees will navigate through common outpatient clinical encounters of the female and pediatric patient. Attendees will be reminded of their osteopathic knowledge base and encouraged to reinvigorate their skills in manipulative medicine, building on a solid foundation of evidence-based literature supporting the use of OMT in a variety of patient presentations. Come and see what your patients are missing!

Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Identify osteopathic manipulation as the missing link in your patient treatment plans
  • Apply your knowledge of common obstetric, gynecologic, and pediatric pathophysiology to an osteopathic treatment plan for your patients
  • Anticipate, prevent, and treat common complaints from the obgyn and pediatric patient in the outpatient setting using OMT as primary or adjunctive treatment.

Integrative Approaches to Reducing Infections
Robert Slater, MPH, MD; UIW-SOM

Conventional approaches to preventing and treating infections have tremendously reduced the burden of disease over the last century, but vaccines and pharmaceutical antimicrobials are not yet available for a wide range of pathogens. Luckily, many other approaches, including healthy lifestyle choices, medicinal foods, supplements, and botanicals appear to be safe and potentially effective – in this session, we will explore these integrative approaches, including practical considerations in the midst of the current pandemic.

Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Describe lifestyle approaches to reduce pathogenic exposures and improve immune function
  • Identify and describe microbial foods
  • Identify and describe the anti-microbial botanicals and supplements.
