Emotional Well-being: to Mental Health
Millicent King Channell,
DO, FAAO, program chair
American Academy of Osteopathy®
Mission Statement
The mission of the American Academy of Osteopathy is to teach, advocate, and research the science, art and
philosophy of osteopathic medicine, emphasizing the integration of osteopathic principles, practices and
manipulative treatment in patient care.
Vision Statement
All patients are aware of and have access to osteopathic medical care
and osteopathic manipulative medicine for optimal health.
Osteopathic Pledge of Commitment
As members of the osteopathic medical profession, in an effort to instill loyalty and strengthen the profession, we recall
the tenets on which this profession is founded – the dynamic interaction of mind, body and spirit; the body’s ability to
heal itself; the primary role of the musculoskeletal system; and preventive medicine as the key to maintaining health. We
recognize the work our predecessors have accomplished in building the profession, and we commit ourselves to continuing
that work.
I pledge to:
•
Provide compassionate, quality care to my patients;
•
Partner with them to promote health;
•
Display integrity and professionalism throughout my career;
•
Advance the philosophy, practice and science of osteopathic medicine;
•
Continue life-long learning;
•
Support my profession with loyalty in action, word and deed; and
•
Live each day as an example of what an osteopathic physician should be.
Adopted by the American Osteopathic Association, Feb. 28, 2003

Somatic Dysfunction and Emotional Well-being: An Osteopathic Approach to Mental Health
Somatic Dysfunction and Emotional Well-being:
An Osteopathic Approach to Mental Health
Millicent King Channell, DO, FAAO, 2016 Convocation program chair
The AAO’s 2016 Convocation will be dedicated to exploring the connections between patients’ psychological
and physiological health.
Reflecting the first tenet of osteopathic medicine—the body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind and
spirit—the Convocation’s lectures and breakout sessions will explore how lifestyle and life challenges affect
patients’ overall health. Attendees will learn how to apply what they learn to diagnosing and treating patients
with mental disease, chronic health conditions and somatic dysfunctions.

Convocation Check-in, CME Documentation
and Breakout Session Admittance
When you arrive at Convocation, please go to the computer
kiosks near the registration desk to print your name badge and
tickets for each of your registered sessions. When you have your
name badge, proceed to the appropriate registration desk—there
is one for physicians and one for students—to receive your
registration packet.
The tickets you print at the kiosk ensure your admission to
lectures, breakout sessions and meals. At the entrance for each
lecture and breakout session, you will turn in your ticket. Tickets
will be collected at the end of each session to record CME credits.

Evening With the FAAOs
OMM: Varying Perspectives, Varying Approaches
G. Bradley Klock, DO, FAAO, program chair
Dr. Klock has gathered a panel of fellows to address a basic question: Where do we begin treatment?
Each panelist has been asked to address the following questions in regard to examining a patient for the first time:
• What do you see?
• How do you decide the nature of the problem?
• How do you decide if OMM is indicated?
• How do you decide where to start?
• How do you choose the techniques you will use?
• How do you sequence treatment?
• How do you know when you are done?
Fellows of the Academy are some of the most experienced, well-respected members of the profession.
The panel consists of G. Bradley Klock, DO, FAAO; Michael S. Carnes, DO, FAAO; Stefan Hagopian, DO,
FAAO; Judith A. O’Connell, DO, MHA, FAAO; and George J. Pasquarello, DO, FAAO.

Cancellation & Refund Policy
The primary educational objective of the AAO is to provide
programs aimed to improve understanding of philosophy and
diagnostic/manipulative skills for AAO members, DOs who are
not AAO members, individuals who are licensed for the unlimited
scope and practice of medicine, and for those in programs leading
to such licensure.
The American Academy of Osteopathy® reserves the right to cancel
an educational program if an insufficient number of physicians
register. Sufficient registrations must be received 30 days prior to
the opening of the course. If you are considering registering for a
course less than 30 days prior to the opening, contact the Academy
office before making travel plans. In the event of course cancellation due to lack of registrations, all registration money will be
refunded.
Another educational objective of the AAO is to provide programs
aimed to improve understanding of manual techniques for licensed
health care professionals within their respective scopes of practice.
Enrollment in a class or classes is not a substitute for completion
of education and training in a college of osteopathic medicine, and
simply taking a course or courses in manual techniques does not
provide the necessary training and skills to practice osteopathic
manipulative treatment and/or osteopathic manipulative medicine.
Cancellations from participants received in writing and signed 30
or more days before the course opening may receive an 80 percent
refund of their registration fee.
For cancellations received in writing less than 30 days before the
course opening, registrants may transfer 80 percent of their registration fee to another course to be held within the next 12 months.
Registrants who fail to appear for an AAO program can transfer up
to 50 percent of their registration fee to another AAO educational
program to be held within the next 12 months if a written and
signed explanation is received at the AAO office within 10 days of
the scheduled course. All other cancellations will receive no refund
or transfer of registration fees.

Fulford’s Basic Percussion Hammer
April 29–May 1, 2016 • University of North Texas Health Science Center
Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth
Course Director
Course Description
When Richard W. Koss, DO, completed his
undergraduate degree at Springfield College in
Massachusetts, he planned to teach physical
education, but an encounter with Bertha Miller,
DO, changed his focus to osteopathic medicine.
Based on the work of the late Robert C. Fulford, DO, this course
introduces Dr. Fulford’s concepts of vibration, love and breath as they
relate to osteopathic philosophy and practice.
Strongly influenced by Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO, and William
Garner Sutherland, DO, Dr. Fulford emphasized how the energy of the
body affects the physiology of the body. He was a proponent of the
percussion hammer, which sends oscillating energy waves through
the body to encourage healing.
In 1982, Dr. Koss graduated from what is now
the A.T. Still University–Kirksville College of
Osteopathic Medicine (ATSU-KCOM) in Missouri,
after which he served in the U.S. Air Force Medical
Corps for four years as a general medical officer,
first at McChord Air Force Base near Tacoma,
Washington, and then at Robins Air Force Base
near Warner Robins, Georgia.
Attendees will learn about Dr. Fulford’s life and practice, and they will
come to understand how life energy, fascia and piezoelectricity affect
anatomy.
By the end of the course, attendees will be able to evaluate their
patients, diagnose dysfunctions and apply vibratory treatment
following Dr. Fulford’s teachings on the percussion hammer.
Prerequisite
Attendees must have completed a 40-credit introductory cranial
course approved by The Osteopathic Cranial Academy or undergone
equivalent training as determined acceptable by the course director.
Course Times
Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Dr. Koss first attended a percussion course taught by Robert C.
Fulford, DO, in 1987, when Dr. Koss was a resident in osteopathic
manipulative medicine at ATSU-KCOM. Two years later, Dr. Fulford
invited Dr. Koss to be a table trainer for a percussion course. Dr. Koss
continued to assist Dr. Fulford until the latter’s death in 1997.

Somatic Dysfunction and Emotional Well-being: An Osteopathic Approach to Mental Health
Introduction to Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
June 16-19, 2016 • University of North Texas Health Science Center
Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth
This is the first in a series of courses that the American Academy
of Osteopathy (AAO) will be conducting to help MD students
and graduates obtain the prerequisites for entering osteopathicrecognized residencies accredited by the Accreditation Council
for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). This course will also be
valuable for DO and MD faculty in these residency programs.
In addition, osteopathic physicians who do not use osteopathic
manipulative treatment (OMT) daily will find this course useful, as will
other health care professionals with limited or no experience with
manipulative techniques.
Through a combination of lectures and hands-on workshops,
attendees will learn the basics of osteopathic manipulative medicine,
which encompasses osteopathic tenets, palpatory diagnosis and
OMT.
The curriculum includes lessons on muscle energy technique; thoracic
spine technique; articulatory techniques; functional techniques;
myofascial release; and high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust.
This course, which is supported in part by the AAO’s Samuel V.
Robuck Fund, will provide content applicable to both adult and
pediatric patients.
Course Director
Lisa Ann DeStefano, DO, has chaired the
Department of Osteopathic Manipulative
Medicine at the Michigan State University
College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSUCOM)
in East Lansing since 2004. A protégé of the
late Philip E. Greenman, DO, FAAODist, Dr.
DeStefano edited the fourth edition of the
textbook Greenman’s Principles of Manual Medicine.
A 1993 graduate of MSUCOM, Dr. DeStefano is board certified in
osteopathic manipulative medicine and neuromusculoskeletal
medicine and in osteopathic family medicine. In 2003, she received
the Osteopathic Faculty Award and the Guiding Principles Award
from MSUCOM. She has lectured widely in the United States and
internationally.

Walking Toward Health:
New Evaluations in Gait
July 29-31, 2016 • The Pyramids, Indianapolis
Course Description
Edward G. Stiles, DO, FAAO, and Charles A. Beck, DO, FAAO,
will present research data that support using a functional approach to treat patients for gait dysfunctions.
During the past few decades, gait concepts have evolved from
using a leg-propelling model to using the trunk-driving model
that Serge Gracovetsky, PhD, outlined in his book The Spinal
Engine. Dr. Stiles suggests that combining these two models
with the floating compression pelvic model and the Mitchell
axes model will provide a comprehensive understanding of
gait mechanics. With traditional approaches to osteopathic
manipulative treatment, sacral- and innominate-related gait
dysfunctions can persist. By employing the clinical approach
presented in this course, physicians can be confident that their
patients are walking toward health.

Course Directors
A 1965 graduate of what is now the
A.T. Still University–Kirksville College
of Osteopathic Medicine in Missouri,
Edward G. Stiles, DO, FAAO, has a
rich and deep understanding of numerous pioneering concepts, events
and personalities in osteopathic medicine.
While an osteopathic medical student, Dr. Stiles trained with
George Andrew Laughlin, DO, a grandson of Andrew Taylor
Still, MD, DO. Early in his medical career, Dr. Stiles took over
the Cambridge, Massachusetts, practice of Perrin T. Wilson,
DO, an internationally recognized osteopathic physician and
the second person to lead the American Academy of Osteopathy. Dr. Stiles established the first hospital-based osteopathic
manipulative treatment (OMT) service in the United States,
and he helped develop the first OMT billing codes. Additionally, he has been recognized by the American Osteopathic Association as a Great Pioneer in Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Stiles has taught at the osteopathic medical colleges at
Oklahoma State University, Michigan State University and the
University of Pikeville in Kentucky. He has delivered the American Osteopathic Association’s Andrew Taylor Still Memorial
Address, as well as the Academy’s Thomas L. Northup Lecture, its Scott Memorial Lecture and its Harold A. Blood, DO,
FAAO, Memorial Lecture. Dr. Stiles also is a recipient of the
Academy’s highest award, the Andrew Taylor Still Medallion of
Honor.
Like Dr. Stiles, Charles A. Beck, DO,
FAAO, is board certified in neuromusculoskeletal medicine. He earned his DO
degree from the University of PikevilleKentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine (UP-KYCOM).
Dr. Beck has received many awards, including the Edward G. Stiles Award for
Osteopathic Manipulation from UP-KYCOM, and he serves as an adjunct faculty member for several
osteopathic medical schools, including the Lake Erie College
of Osteopathic Medicine and the Marian University College of
Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Beck is in private practice in Indianapolis at the Meridian Holistic Center.
