This session is primarily a presentation of the history of Osteopathic Medicine from the time A.T. Still was born up to the second half of the 20th century. My hope is that audience members who have personal recollections will share them, and that more recent graduates will be inspired to pick up the narration with their own experiences. At the end, participants will have an increased understanding of how their profession grew, and pride in our accomplishments.
