OMT Guide Goes Digital

OMT Guide Goes Digital - ACOFP Members Receive Discount
Tired of toting your OMT guide in your coat pocket. Recently, the OMT guide has gone digital with a PDA version.

Based on the book, Pocket OMT Manual – The Stiles Approach by Edward G. Stiles, DO, Pocket OMT for Windows Desktop and Pocket OMT for Windows Mobile 5© are the latest versions available to osteopathic physicians.

“This software is truly a major leap forward in osteopathic education. Now students, residents, and practitioners alike have access to comprehensive OMT reference without stuffing their white coat with yet another book,” said Edward G. Stiles, DO.

Pocket OMT covers a full range of osteopathic musculoskeletal techniques. The program features all major treatment modalities, all major anatomical regions, and complete description of all major diagnoses. Pocket OMT is searchable by topic and bodily dysfunction—returning diagnostic and treatment information with images.

Pocket OMT is available as a free trial version and a full version at www.pocketomt.com. ACOFP negotiated a reduced rate for ACOFP members. 

ACOFP members need to enter the discount code dQeRPf when purchasing a license key for the software. The discounted price is $42 for a single license key (Windows Mobile or Windows Desktop) or $55 for two license keys for the bundle.
