COURSE INFORMATION
Course Description
Health care professionals are confronting the challenge of maintaining and improving competence over the course of lengthy careers in diverse practice specialties. This course was designed to provide attendees with current and relevant updates to your daily management of commonly seen patient health concerns in primary care. This course will present a comprehensive review of new developments in medicine and the day-to-day controversies of office practice. Providers will be able to apply the most current treatment strategies provided in recent clinical guideline updates, recognize effective interventions, and employ relevant research in their daily patient encounters.
Educational Objectives
- Implement new clinical guidelines and scientific information in office-based preventive medicine to correctly evaluate and provide appropriate treatment options
- Assess and provide patients with an accurate diagnosis and optimal care for a broad range of diseases and conditions seen in primary care
- Recognize when to refer to a specialist to provide optimal patient care
Target Audience
The target audience includes general practitioners, family medicine physicians, and other primary healthcare providers that are interested in refreshing their knowledge and improving their competence on commonly seen conditions.
Educational Need
The need for more information, knowledge and competence is evident in the busy practicing physician. Often training is out of date and a lack of time is challenging to stay current with advances in the busy physician’s practice. 45% of the total U.S. population live with a chronic condition and improving the quality of their care is a major policy priority. Many patients see a primary care physician for all of their care (Medical Economics from the CDC). Up to date review of clinical guidelines is necessary to present practicing physicians with the level of knowledge and understanding they need to improve patient care. Multimorbidity is particularly important in generalist settings, such as primary care, where family practitioners act as the first point of contact for people with a wide range of conditions and frequently manage patients with multiple coexisting conditions. Most patients consulting in family practice have multimorbidity, and the number of coexisting conditions increases with age.
Professional Practice Gap
A significant gap exists between research recommendations, scientific evidence, and clinical practice guidelines, on the one hand and actual clinical practice, on the other. With only 55% adherence to evidence-based care, the significance of disparity disconcerts health care stakeholders. This gap, the difference between what health professionals know and what they do, challenges effective and efficient health care by undermining the benefits realized from advances in the science of medicine and the dedication of professionals delivering care. It is well documented that interventions designed to change practice must be based on an accurate assessment of the needs and causal variables that support and impede targeted health outcomes. Lack of knowledge, awareness, professional skill or appraisal skills are well known barriers to optimal care.
Desired Outcomes
This conference is designed to provide primary care practitioners with up-to-date, evidence-based information on commonly encountered clinician and patient wellness issues, while suggesting pragmatic approaches to clinical management. After attending the sessions our goal is to enhance the knowledge-base and core competence of attendees. The successful completion of this interactive program should improve attendees’ confidence in diagnosing, treating, and prescribing the most effective courses of treatment, with the ultimate goal of improving clinician and patient outcomes.

Course Description
Innovative ways our members are learning. How technology and research are demonstrating the importance of efficacy and safety in osteopathic medicine.
Course Director
Brian Degenhardt, DO, C-NMM/OMM
Contact Information
For questions, contact Lisa Norman:
660.626.2443 or lnorman@atsu.edu.
Educational Objectives
- Explain the current status of the evidence for the safety of OMM
- Describe the current evidence on the reliability and validity of osteopathic physical examination and treatment
- Discuss the steps necessary to participate in new research opportunities in OMM
Target Audience
Osteopathic physicians and osteopaths who use osteopathic manipulative medicine in their clinical practice.
Professional Practice Gap
In an era of evidence-based medicine and new levels of research involving big data within the scientific community, it is critical to develop a culture of research within those osteopathic physicians who routinely perform osteopathic manipulation within their practice. To build such a culture, it is important to know what research has been done within osteopathic medicine, what is being done within the manual therapy research community and what is being prioritized for future research in this field. Based on this information, participants of the meeting/members of DO-Touch.NET will strategize the research direction for this network and strengthen the research culture within this PBRN.
Educational Need
Practitioners of OMT need to be informed about the strengths and weaknesses of research performed on OMT, what research is currently being performed within the field of osteopathic manual medicine and what is being prioritized by DO-Touch.NET for future research in this field. Practitioners of OMT also need to understand how they can participate in OMT research within their current practices and implement strategies to allow them and their office staff to participate in ongoing research in OMM. As a result, patients will receive better evidence-based practices and will be able to shape future research based on the responses to current interventions.
Desire Outcomes
Participants will have expanded knowledge about the use, effectiveness, and safety of osteopathic manipulative medicine. Participants will have a greater appreciation of the current evidence on the reliability and validity of osteopathic physical examination and treatment and will want to actively engage in new DO-Touch.NET initiatives throughout the coming year.

DIN-1: Foundations of Dynamic Integrative Needling Systems (DINS)
To register for this course, click here
The Hobbs Masters Needling Series begins with a 27-hour foundational education course tailored for clinicians new to dry needling. Though essential for beginners, experienced practitioners will find the material informative and refreshing, helping to focus and simplify their practice while improving patient outcomes.
This 3-day course is supplemented with online modules carefully developed to maximize delivery of live, 90% hands-on instruction. Practitioners will learn clinically reasoned, evidence-informed approaches of all major regions of the body, including the spine and both upper and lower quarters, for a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders. This will provide the busy clinician the requisite instruction necessary to treat the most common conditions encountered in daily clinical practice without the need to take multiple courses.
For a broader foundational understanding, participants will be instructed not only in needling superficially and deep within muscles (i.e., trigger point dry needling) but will also learn proper periosteal and connective tissue needling techniques for many conditions. Additionally, participants will learn how to integrate peripheral, spinal segmental and central needling approaches within a clinical reasoning framework.
This course will focus on the therapeutic effects of manual dry needle manipulation, with emphasis placed on safe needle handling, relevant anatomical considerations for each region, and appropriate selection of sites to needle on the body. Clinicians will also gain skill in appropriate dosing of dry needling to allow for optimal effectiveness and maximal patient comfort. Through the lens of modern pain science, clinicians will be educated on the potent anti-nociceptive effects that dry needling can offer to patients with painful musculoskeletal disorders.
Objectives:
By the end of this course participants will be able to:
Correctly identify 10 contraindications and 10 precautions to the use of dry needling.
Demonstrate safe DINS handling techniques and patient positioning for 5 axial spine techniques.
Demonstrate safe DINS handling techniques and patient positioning for 5 extremity techniques.
Correctly describe the appropriate management of 5 adverse events that may occur in association with DINS.
Orally explain the current theoretical neurophysiological mechanisms of DINS from the periphery to the cortex.
Appropriately defend the integration of DINS into the management of a given patient with a neuromusculoskeletal condition.

Event Details
The Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program Level 2 (CCIP Level 2), formerly the Advanced CCIP) is designed for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants who want to further develop their clinical teaching skills and construct a clinical curriculum. Using a case-based and interactive approach to education, this program will provide participants with the essential knowledge and skill to more effectively teach and mentor students in the context of a doctoring profession, across core areas of contemporary professional education and clinical practice that foster best clinical teaching. The program’s unique philosophy and design both applies and goes beyond the concepts of the APTA Credentialed Clinical Instructor Level 1 Program (CCIP Level 1) to l enable clinical educators to achieve the best outcomes for student learning.
The program is divided into three distinct parts:
- Pre-course assignments that include reading four articles and completing three of the online Professionalism Modules.
- Advanced clinical instructor education via an interactive face-to-face course format that is appropriate to all physical therapist clinical educators;
- Assessment (credentialing) of curricula outcomes through an Assessment Center to apply information from the ACCIP.
These components are used together to first provide, and then assess, the knowledge and skill identified as essential for Advanced CIs.
Intended audience: Physical Therapists or Physical Therapist Assistants who have completed the APTA Credentialed Clinical Instructor Level 1 Program (CCIP Level 1) and have supervised at least one student in clinical practice, overseen the supervision of at least one student in clinical practice, or have been actively involved in student learning and education since becoming credentialed. As with the CCIP Level 1, eligible clinicians from other health care professions are welcome to participate and can earn CEUs for the program, although they will not be APTA credentialed.

Although many athletic trainers use clinical practice guidelines, position statements, and consensus statements to identify best practices for the management of various illnesses and injuries, fewer understand the differences between these types of documents and the development process for these documents. This course aims to differentiate between clinical practice guidelines, position statements, and consensus statements and describe the process of how these documents are develop. Using the published documents regarding sport-related concussion, examples between the similarities and differences in recommendations made among these documents will be illustrated. Specifically, focus will be on similarities and differences in diagnosis, prevention, assessment, management, and the use of neurocognitive testing. A discussion of the historical changes in recommendations from Vienna and the 2004 NATA statement through the 2014 NATA statement and the recently released Berlin consensus statement will also be included.
This course aims to cover the following objectives, which will be presented in four individual online modules:
- Describe the development process for clinical practice guidelines
- Differentiate between types of clinical practice guidelines
- Discuss the process used to develop the Berlin concussion consensus statement
- Identify best practices according to the Berlin concussion consensus statement
- Compare recommendations from various statements and guidelines for use in clinical practice
According to the education levels described by the PDC, this continuing education course is considered to be Advanced Level, and is appropriate for all athletic trainers.

Although most athletic trainers deal with patients who are in pain, very few clinicians understand the complexity of pain perception and the individuality by which it presents itself from patient to patient. Often, patients of the same gender, around the same age, with the same diagnosis, present very differently when it comes to the amount of pain they are experiencing. This presents a difficult scenario for the athletic trainer, who may be utilizing past clinical experience to manage a current patient. Truly understanding the biopsychosocial aspects of pain and understanding the most recent literature on pain sciences will be helpful to the clinical athletic trainer, who is often tasked with helping a patient simply “feel better”. Pain affects movement, so athletic trainers who are attempting to change an athletes’ movement patterns first must address the pain perception that can be altering the movement patterns. Proper modality selection and counseling is a must in order for the athletic trainer to be effective in the field of pain management.
Pain is a multifactorial experience and should be addressed via a comprehensive biopsychosocial intervention model. Pain and nociceptive stimulation do not go hand in hand, meaning pain can be present in the absence of nociceptive stimulation. Therefore, the clinician needs to understand not only the physical neurology of the sensation of pain, but the emotional, psychological, social, and personal experiences that factor into the creation of pain perception. With this comprehensive understanding, the clinician should be able to select an appropriate intervention to modulate pain based on the needs of the individual patient
This course aims to cover the following objectives, which will be presented in five individual online modules:
- Appreciate that pain is a multi-factorial experience, and should be treated via a multi-factorial approach including physical, emotional and biopsychosocial considerations
- Identify different pain theories and the basic neurology underlying the sensation of pain
- Understand how pain may affect normal movement patterns
- Implement different modalities to address pain and improve movement
- Understand the effects of different modalities on pain modulation and describe the mechanism of action for these modalities
