Our foundational courses are excellent for osteopathically recognized residency programs&#8211;particularly those with MD faculty supervising residents, MD applicants preparing for osteopathic-focused training, and as a refresher course for DOs in practice and teaching. Beginning in <strong>2026<\/strong>, the course will follow a <strong>two-year repeating cycle<\/strong>, giving participants consistent access to both foundational and advanced content regardless of the year they enroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Year One (2026) Upper Body Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Year One provides a strong foundation in osteopathic principles, assessment, biomechanics, and introductory manual techniques for the upper body. Hands-on lecture and lab session will include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cervical Spine<\/strong>: assessment, basic biomechanics, counterstrain, and muscle energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thoracic Spine:<\/strong> assessment, basic biomechanics, counterstrain, and muscle energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rib Cage<\/strong>: assessment, biomechanics and treatment strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Upper Limb:<\/strong> assessment biomechanics, counterstrain, and muscle energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clinical applications highlighted in Year One include neck pain, shoulder dysfunction, thoracic back pain, and respiratory-related conditions such as pneumonia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Year Two (2027) Lower Body Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Year Two builds on the foundation developed in Year One and expands into lower body regions and technique applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lumber Spine: <\/strong>assessment, biomechanics, counterstrain, and muscle energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sacrum and Pelvis: <\/strong>assessment and treatment techniques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lower Limb: <\/strong>assessment, biomechanics, counterstrain, and muscle energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clinical examples include low back pain, hip pain, and knee-related conditions commonly encountered in both outpatient and inpatient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This structured two-year cycle offers flexibility while ensuring a complete, educational experience over time. It is ideal for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>MD faculty<\/strong> in osteopathically recognized programs seeking to strengthen their OMM understanding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MD resident applicants<\/strong> preparing for osteopathic-focused training environments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DOs <\/strong>looking to refresh skills across the entire body over two years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Programs<\/strong> seeking reliable, high-quality introductory and advanced OMM education for non-DO trainees and faculty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course Format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course remains a <strong>four-day, 32-hour, in-person, hands-on training experience <\/strong>taught by expert faculty at <strong>A.T. Still University-Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (ATSU-KCOM). <\/strong>Instruction emphasizes practical skill development, supervised lab time, and integration of osteopathic principles through the use of case studies for practical application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This enhanced curriculum supports physicians who teach, mentor, or train within osteopathic settings by providing clear, progressive, and accessible OMM education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$200 for NCOPPE members and medical students<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$595 for all others<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*If you are registering multiple participants and wish to make one payment through check or wire transfer, please contact us at ncoppe@atsu.edu for group registration information.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/lp.constantcontactpages.com\/ev\/reg\/wtjtqpj\">Register Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atsu.edu\/ncoppe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Visiting-ATSU-2026-1.pdf\">Lodging<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atsu.edu\/ncoppe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Rough-Draft_32-Hour-Block-Schedule-2026-for-landing-page.docx\">Schedule-at-a-Glance<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atsu.edu\/student-affairs\/admissions\/visit-kirksville#visiting_kirksville\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>for more information about visiting Kirksville, MO and the ATSU-KCOM Campus.
