Description

Course Description

Have you ever wondered what a D.O. is? Have you been curious about osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and how it might benefit your patients? In this webinar designed for healthcare providers that care for breastfeeding dyads (parent and infant), we will dive into these questions and more. The webinar will discuss the ways that OMT can be utilized to help with issues of both members of the dyad, such as poor latch, mastitis, or even low milk supply. We will dive into the evidence that supports the use of osteopathic medicine to care for the breastfeeding dyad as well.

Statement of Need: This activity will address the underutilization of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) to help support both the parent and infant in the breastfeeding relationship.


Educational Learning Objectives 

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
*  Define osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and how it ties into the history and philosophy of osteopathic medicine. 
Differentiate osteopathic manipulative treatment from other manual medicine modalities to help determine when referring for OMT might be beneficial to patients. 
​​​​​​​
*  Illustrate the application of an osteopathic approach to the breastfeeding dyad including OMT to help foster a healthy breastfeeding relationship.
*  Review the current literature that supports the use of OMT to support and care for the breastfeeding dyad. 
Identify common conditions seen both in the breastfeeding infant and breastfeeding parent that could benefit from OMT, and understand what the D.O. performing OMT would be assessing and treating with these presentations.

Target Audience
This course is designed for healthcare providers that care for or have an interest in the management of the breastfeeding dyad. This includes, but is not limited to, physicians (D.O., M.D, MBBS), international osteopaths, lactation consultants, physical therapists, dentists, occupational therapists, and other manual therapists. Trainees, including students and medical residents, are also welcome.

Prerequisites 
There are no prerequisites for this course. Although the course does not have any prerequisites, medical and anatomical terms will be utilized so is recommended for those currently working in the field of healthcare.
