Asynchronous CEU Opportunities
​
Systematically Approaching the Patient
This course has 10 hours of curricular content in the form of video demonstrations as well as formative questions. The formative questions aid learning by building the semantic network of the information presented in the video format. The content is built to decrease cognitive load by explaining and demonstrating a heuristic based approach to guide assessment and treatment approaches. Topics include how to build an effective assessment, how to appropriately choose patient positions for treatment, how to appropriately utilize multisensory integration, how to generate an organized treatment based on findings, and more. The course is asynchronous so that you may go through the material on your time and interface with it in ways that are most appropriate to your needs.
​
Osteopathic History Project
This course contains 9 hours of curricular content in the form of video demonstrations and formative questions. The formative questions aid learning by improving the semantic network of the information presented in video format. The information in this course is built from examining historical osteopathic textual resources to identify themes relating to epistemology (theories of knowledge creation), ontology (classification systems for how reality is examined), and axiology (values and value judgements). The state of these processes is considered at the start of the profession as well as in the present day. The main benefit to you is to understand how and why claims of osteopathy are made the way they are made. The secondary benefit to you is to gain skills to judge those claims. The tertiary benefit to you is understand how and why osteopathic claims don’t yet stand up to scrutiny. The course is asynchronous so that you may go through the material on your time and interface with it in ways that are most appropriate to your needs.
​
Historical Osteopathic Technique
​
This course has 7 hours of curricular content in the form of video demonstrations as well as formative questions. The formative questions aid learning by building the semantic network of the information presented in the video format. The information presented here is built from examining osteopathic textual resources to identify descriptions of technical methods and demonstrate them. Alongside the demonstration of the technical methods, we provide a framework of heuristics to understand how the methods work and may be generated. We also conclude with an examination of what may be learned about early osteopathic methods so that we may have better insight as to how specific the methods were, how central specific palpation was to early practitioners, and how easy the methods were on practitioners. The course is asynchronous so that you may go through the material on your time and interface with it in ways that are most appropriate to your needs.
​
The Unfortunate Truth About Osteopathic Theory
​
This course contains 9 hours of curricular content in the form of video lectures, written resources, and formative questions. The information presented here is to provide insight into the definition of theory followed by using that definition to examine those things that claim to be theories in osteopathy. Utilizing standard osteopathic resources as well as historical writing and claims we develop our claim with respect to where osteopathy stands in relation to the term theory. Specific topics include the Fryette Model, sacral models, Irvin M Korr's contributions to the profession (including a historical long form interview with Dr. Korr), visceral claims (including a historical interview with Barral), and cranial claims. The course is asynchronous so that you may go through the material on your time and interface with it in ways that are most appropriate to your needs.
