Physical Oriental Medicine

[Guest guest]

I have started a new message board to discuss issues in the practice of Physical

Medicine

as it relates to . This message board will be associated with

the AAPOM.

The prolific CHA writer, Alon Marcus is associated with the AAPOM.

 

The American Association of Physical Oriental Medicine (AAPOM) is a new division

of the

AAOM devoted to improving the training and skills of

practitioners in

the field of physical medicine. AAPOM recently offered its first board

certification

competency exam in October. I believe Alon Marcus is about to publish a book on

musculo-skeletal system?

 

To raise competencies in this important area is vital for the profession, more

so in the

wake of California's Little Hoover Commission findings, Being able to do a

proper physical

exam including orthopedic and neurologic testing is:

a) something I did not learn in school

b) vital for more effective treatment

c) Improves our standing as health professionals

d) A political statement.
