• Discuss the five components of the primary respiratory mechanism, including articular, cerebrospinal fluid, fascial/membranous and nervous system anatomy.
• Deepen the understanding of the osteopathic principles; interrelationship of structure and function, the body as a dynamic unit and the body as a self-regulating homoeostatic mechanism with a capacity for self-healing.
• Provide instruction with experienced physicians on a four-to-one student to faculty ratio in a learning environment to palpate inherent motion of the body.
• Establish the basis for palpatory diagnosis and treatment using Osteopathy in the Cranial Field for clinical problems not only relating specifically to the cranium but elsewhere in the body.
• The course includes approximately 18 hours of lecture and 22 hours of palpatory experience in addition to question/answer sessions.
