This course is structured with weekly lectures and laboratory sessions that reinforce material presented in lectures. Material presented expands upon the osteopathic principles taught in the first year, while also introducing new concepts, such as cranial manipulation. Students perform osteopathic structural examinations, diagnoses, and manipulative treatment. Where possible, the sequence of material is coordinated with concepts presented in other second year courses. Students are evaluated by midterm and final written examinations, as well as practical examinations on core osteopathic treatment techniques.
