Upcoming CME February 14-16, 2025
Exploring the Tide
R. Paul Lee DO FAAO FCA
Learning Objectives
This intermediate course in osteopathic diagnosis and treatment presents information and palpatory experience that heretofore has not been available through colleges of osteopathic medicine or other teaching venues. It is the product of the clinical experience of R. Paul Lee, DO, FAAO, FCA, DABMA. We will explore how the whole of the body expresses interrelationships through the fascia and how treating one part of the body influences and is influenced by other parts. Those who have taken a percussion hammer course will recognize the relationships we teach in this course, but without the vibrator.
On Day Two, we will learn the intricate querying method that my practice and life has become entwined with, Primary Response Testing. This method uses the silent questioning of the mind of the practitioner to communicate with the ultimate Intelligence of the Tide to receive yes, or no responses to elucidate the problem within the patient’s body to answer questions of the operation of the universe.
On Day Three we palpate the interior of the cranium in a progressive fashion that teaches the novice a means to find whatever nucleus, vessel, or membrane needs assistance
Colorado Society of Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic Medical Student Coalition (OMSC)
OMSC is the newly established student chapter of the Colorado Society of Osteopathic Medicine. We function as a student component of CSOM with representation on the Executive Board ensuring the cumulative voice of the students of osteopathic medicine is part of each discussion. OMSC brings into one organization the students of medicine enrolled at fully accredited institutions granting Doctorates of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) in the state of Colorado. We serve as a student voice in the community to promote public health and the art and science of osteopathic medicine; promote high standards of osteopathic education; encourage active participation in the legislative process to advocate for our patients and our profession; and ensure that the evolution of the osteopathic principles shall be an ever-growing tribute to Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O. who made possible osteopathy as a science.
Membership is FREE to all enrolled Colorado DO candidates.
Want to get involved? Students are free and can sign up by contacting Kimberly St. John. Contact: Kimberly St. John, OMSC Chair kimberly.stjohn@co.rvu.edu
As members of the Osteopathic profession, in an effort to instill loyalty and strengthen the profession, we recall the tenets on which this profession was founded. The dynamic interaction of mind, body and spirit, the body’s ability to heal itself and the primary role of the musculoskeletal system and preventive medicine as the key to maintain health. We recognize the work our predecessors have accomplished in building the profession and we commit ourselves to continuing that work. Therefore:
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.
