Osteopathic Medicine is a branch of human medicine which was developed in the late 19th century in the United States. It is a philosophy of health care applied as a distinctive art, supported by expanding scientific knowledge. Its philosophy embraces the concept of the unity of the living organism’s structure (anatomy) and function (physiology). A frequently quoted saying of the founder of the profession, Andrew Taylor Still, is “To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.” The term “Osteopathy” was chosen by Still, because “we start with the bones.” He related that osteo includes the idea of “causation” as well as “bone, ” and pathos means “suffering.” As Stefan Hagopian, DO states in an interview printed in Alternative Therapies, Nov/Dec 2001, Vol.

T. STILL. Museum of Osteopathic Medicine, Kirksville, MO INTERPRETED BY DR. W. J. CONNER Introductory In writing this brief epistle, it is not the inten­ tion of the author to write a text book on obstetrics. I claim no originality for myse],f, just my interpreta­ tion of what Doctor Still taught. Like Christ, he taught much, but wrote little, especially on obstet~ rics. Having h2en inti'mately associated with him for five years, during the most a.ctive part of his life, and being in the Obstetrical Department of his . Institution, I feel competent to interpret his teach­ ings. When he obtained a Charter for the American School of Osteopathy, he specified that the objects Copyrighted 1928 of the school were to teach an improved system of By Surgery, Obstetrics and General Practice. DR. W. J. CONNER .. He never claimed Osteopathy to be a new science of healing, no more than did Henry Ford claim he was building a new car when he put on a self-starter.

Pediatrics involves recognition of normal and abnormal mental and physical development as well as the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic problems. As one of the core clerkships during the third year of medical school, pediatrics shares with family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, psychiatry, and surgery the common responsibility to teach the knowledge, skills and attitudes basic to the development of a competent general physician. Most students will spend most of their time in the outpatient setting while others might take care of patients on the inpatient setting as well.

  • • Seminar 1: the Origins of Osteopathy
    Inhoud van de cursus • Seminar 1: The origins of Osteopathy Three of the most important figures in the history of osteopathy are Andrew Taylor Still, John Martin Littlejohn, and William Garner Sutherland. Jane Stark has spent the last decade compiling the life stories of each of these historical figures. Her research has been conducted in libraries, museums, and historical societies in both the UK and the US, including Boston, Chicago, London, and Glasgow, as well as countless small towns, the most important being Kirksville, Missouri. The biographies of these legendary osteopaths provide the context for understanding their work. The “old doc” (Still) left us his legacy of osteopathy; the “old dean” (Littlejohn) helped to keep osteopathy pure, or free of overdependence on pharmaceutical agents; and the “old timer” (Sutherland) introduced a more refined level of palpation through cranial osteopathy. The circumstances leading to the culmination of the osteopathic idea of Andrew Taylor Still will be examined from a multitude of political, economic, social, and educational perspecitves. Of interest will be the fact that the only place in the world where osteopathy could have been born was in Kirksville, Missouri. The reason for this is this statement will be well explain in the program. This seminar offers in-depth and entertaining oral and pictorial perspectives on the life histories and professional contributions of Still, Littlejohn, and Sutherland. For about 18 months between 1898 and 1900 their three paths crossed at the American School of Osteopathy in Kirksville. That period and the five years preceding it remain the most important years in the history of osteopathy.
