BioBasics 2024 – United States

An Exploration of the Biodynamic Model of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field

May 31- June 3, 2024
Highland Lake Resort, Bridgton, ME
Course Director: Craig Goldberg, DO
CME: Pending approval for approximately 18-20 hours of AOA Category 1A CME Credits.

The philosophy, principles and practice of Osteopathy are as vast as the cosmos.

Please join us as we explore these deep and subtle natural healing forces so that we can increase our Osteopathic perception, skills and abilities together.

This course is like no other. With a typical student to instructor ratio of 2:1, it is nearly impossible to avoid learning new ways of being and new ways of treating each other and our patients.

Designed to benefit both those who are new and those who are experienced with this approach, BioBasics presents an atmosphere of acceptance, welcoming, sharing and gratitude for all.

All medical students, interns, residents and practicing physicians are most welcome!

About the BioBasics Program

The BioBasics program has been designed to offer an educational experience on the foundational principles in Osteopathy to medical students and residents at a reasonable cost.  Additionally, many physicians have also taken advantage of this wonderful educational opportunity. Our intent is to create a dynamic living curriculum, which reflects the principles of Osteopathy in a general practice setting.

BioBasics offers a transitional methodology for the Biodynamic approach to Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, as we explore these principles together in both the lecture and practical session formats. The course is also designed with a gentle tempo that allows ample time for rest and recreation. We are gratified to have this opportunity to welcome you to become part of an Osteopathic community that is devoted to keeping Traditional Osteopathy alive through exploration, devotion and service.

Our faculty is comprised of D.O.’s and MD’s from all over the world. This group volunteers their time for the course and have functioned as a community invested in the teaching of Osteopathy in our schools, hospitals, and national organizations for many years. This course provides a unique opportunity for mentoring with its teacher to participant ratio of 1:2. All of the faculty at this course are oriented to the general practice of Osteopathy and are fully trained in Biodynamics.

 

 

The BioBasics program offers undergraduate educational training on teaching of the foundational principles in Osteopathy. The intent of the program is to create a dynamic living curriculum reflecting the principles of Osteopathy in a general practice setting and to provide a community of fellowship oriented toward keeping Osteopathy alive and preserving the “tools of our trade.” The structure of the teaching faculty is such that the undergraduate basic educational modules will be made available to students at a reasonable cost. The curriculum is designed to develop a transitional methodology for functional and biodynamic approaches and to use the modules as a means to create and explore language. These modules will also provide the student an opportunity to understand the biomechanical, functional and biodynamic methods as they apply to a specific topic. This program is given by a group of D.O.’s from all over the United States and abroad. This group has functioned as a community invested in teaching all levels of Osteopathy in an informal setting for many years. This course provides a unique opportunity for mentoring and an expected table trainer to participant ratio of 1:2. All of the teachers at this course are oriented to the general practice of Osteopathy and are fully trained in Biodynamics.
