AAO Pre-Convocation 2026 – Carl P. McConnell: Philosophical and Clinical Approach to Osteopathic Treatment

March 15, 2026 - March 17, 2026

This course will explore the traditional osteopathic thought, approach and technique of Carl P. McConnell, DO, a premier osteopathic physician who, at the time of his death, was thought to best have understood the teachings of A.T. Still, DO. The course is designed to lead participants through technique approaches requiring increasing palpatory appreciation for precision, specificity and anatomical localization.

Dr. McConnell understood the osteopathic lesion differently than we currently understand it, which greatly influenced his application and choice of technique. Central to his thought was identification and treatment of the “key lesion.” These concepts will be explored in this experientially driven course.

This is an intermediate to advanced course intended for experienced practitioners; however, all skill levels will benefit from the principles of palpatory precision and discussion of osteopathic philosophy and art.
