After an extended period of redesign we just launched a new version of the WOHO website. The new site features

  • a fresh new look
  • a better overview of new articles, postings and downloads
  • more information accessible to the public (e.g. the forum is readable for non-members now)
  • and several features in the invisible backend of the site, that will help us with WOHO's administration.
Please let us know what you think of the new site! We prepared a forum for your feedback.

Message from the President

Written by Zachary Comeaux, DO, FAAO | 17 February 2010

Zachary Comeaux D.O., FAAODear Member,

For the last two years the Executive Committee has been discussing the role of the organization and how it interfaces or complements with others, ie., Osteopathic International Alliance, ERO, FORE. So, WOHO is at a critical juncture and requests your opinion regarding the future role of the organization.
In preparation for the Annual General Meeting in Colorado Springs March 20, we would like your current opinion. What is the current role of WOHO? Has it accomplished its intended goals? Is there a continuing role for the organization? If so, does it continue as usual or does it redirect its efforts. If you have an interest, can you contribute to the continued need for active leadership?

Please read and reflect on the following and pass your comments and suggestions to the forum.

Zachary Comeaux
President
WOHO

The Osteopathic Council of NZ held a symposium in NZ on scope of practice reform and related issues in September 2009. Stiofan Mac Subihne, the council’s chairman and WOHO member, sent us a document with detailed minutes of the discussions, that is now available on the website.

A similar debate is currently taking place in Europe, where FORE and the EFO are currently working on a European framework for the scope.

Osteopathy in Brazil

Written by admin | 12 January 2010

At the end of October 2009 WOHO board members Raimund Engel and Michael Mulholland-Licht were talking at an international forum, which was part of a conference hosted by the Escola Brasileira De osteopatia (EBOM). They presented WOHO and the international situation of osteopathy to an interested group of osteopaths and students, and also met a representant of the Brazilian Register of Osteopaths, Ana Paula Ferreira.
Following the event, Ana Paula Ferreira and Grace Alves sent us a country report on Brazil, which you can read below.

Last year the A.T. STill Museum in Kirksville has released some exciting new papers from the founder of osteopathy. They are available through  the Missouri Digital Heritage website, that is hosting the A.T. Still Papers through a grant from the State of Missouri LSTA. 

The Museum staff has worked nineteen years off and on to complete this project since first receiving these papers from Elizabeth Laughlin (saved by Dr. Still's daughter Dr. Blanche Still Laughlin and passed through her family to us) - now they are available for all of us to learn more about our profession's history.
