We are proud to acknowledge the representation of ACOM by our students and faculty at the American Academy of Osteopathy’s Convocation in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We had two groups of our medical students place their research in the poster exhibit under the guidance of Dr. Jeffrey Johns, DO and Dr. Thomas Fotopoulos, DO: Taylor Nakashima and Caitlin Curran, OMS-II presented on “Post Isometric Muscle Energy at the Cervical Spine (OA, C1, C2) Increases Vagal Tone as Quantified by Heart Rate Variability Metrics” and Justin Moon, Katherine Thornburgh, Alise Wenner, and John Michael McAllister, OMS-II presented on “Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Suboccipital Release on Heart Rate Variability”. We also had OPP faculty Dr. Steven Ma, DO and OPP Fellows Ryan and Shana Washburn, OMS-III to support the students presenting while attending lectures/workshops. We are extremely proud of their hard work and continued dedication to the profession of osteopathy!
