Agenda 2ème semestre 2024

🎓 formation #NATIVE les 📅 jeudi 13, vendredi 14 & samedi 15 novembre 2025 de ⌛ 9h00 à 17h00 à 📍Rijen 🇫🇷

🎓 This course integrates modern scientific approaches with a heritage derived from Indigenous medicine, not only to honor early osteopathy as introduced by AT Still following his interaction with Native American tribes but also to promote evidence-informed and culturally sensitive osteopathic care in our contemporary environment. The course presents the Cynefin framework as a tool to aid in clinical decision-making, as well as its use within a person-centered clinical reasoning context. This framework may encompass the diversity of therapeutic approaches in osteopathy, including cranial osteopathy. It is grounded in a scientific foundation derived from neuroscience of perception, utilized to describe alterations in body awareness observed in approaches stemming from traditional/Indigenous medicines. These manual interoceptive approaches are reflected through the body-mind-spirit principle, reintroduced by the profession in the USA during the last update of osteopathic principles (Rogers et al., 2002).

 Learning outcomes

1. Gain a nuanced understanding of the historical legacy of Indigenous medicine in osteopathic practice: Develop critical insight into the integration of traditional/Indigenous medicine by A.T. Still into osteopathic principles, while examining its contemporary relevance and ethical implications in modern healthcare.

2. Navigate the Scientific Landscape of Osteopathy: Analyze historical models in osteopathy through the lens of modern neuroscience, specifically exploring the neuroscientific basis of perception and pain, as well as its correlation with interoceptive manual techniques in cranial osteopathy.

3. Elevate Clinical Practice through Principles of Culturally Sensitive Care: Enhance proficiency in cranial techniques by incorporating person-centered and culturally sensitive approaches, fostering deeper connections with patients, and facilitating effective communication within multidisciplinary healthcare teams.

4. Foster Professional Growth within an Inclusive Framework: Cultivate a collaborative environment for peer learning and reflection, while leveraging evidence-based practices to enrich osteopathic care. Develop a robust professional identity grounded in compassion, cooperation, and the integration of traditional wisdom with modern scientific advancements.
