In-person workshops
Hands-On Learning
We have several in-person, hands-on workshops to give family medicine students, residents, and physician-in-practice experience with the newest techniques in osteopathic medicine. Just a few of our most popular workshops include POCUS, OMT, joint injections, wound care, and more!
