Hello all,
Detailed below are opportunities for members of your SAAO chapter. Please forward this email to SAAO chapter members so they have the opportunity to participate.
- Fundraise for your SAAO chapter
- Thomas Crow has recently published an OMM board review book. It retails for $49.95. He has generously offered to sell SAAO chapters the book for $30, and they can resell it for $40, making a $10 profit and still selling the book for less than retail
- Contact Thomas Crow (thoma...@unthsc.edu) if you are interested
- Attend an SAAO-sponsored Cranial Workshop
- Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) Virginia Campus is hosting an annual Cranial Workshop with Dr. Stephen Blood from November 5th-6th. Students from all COMs are invited and encouraged to attend. Housing is available on a limited basis
- More information about the Cranial Workshop is included below
- Contact Nathan Seeberger, VCOM’s SAAO chapter President, with questions (nseeb...@vt.vcom.edu)
- Play a role in a research initiative
- Dr. Chatterjee, Assistant Professor of Anatomy at Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine, is conducting a research project investigating the impact of medically-related experiences on spatial ability among first and second year medical students and is asking students to participate by completing a survey
- More information about the project and a link to the survey can be found below
- Contact Dr. Allison Chatterjee with questions (achat...@marian.edu)
Cranial Workshop – information from VCOM Virginia Campus SAAO Chapter President
We want to extend an invitation to attend our annual Cranial Workshop with Dr. Stephen Blood from November 5th to November 6th, 2016. Dr. Blood will be visiting us for the weekend to introduce attendees to the delicate practice of craniosacral rhythm. We would like you to join us as we learn from one of the most mastered physicians in the cranial field. Please see the attached itinerary of the workshop.

Please also let us know if you have any special requests (pet allergies, prefer not to stay with opposite sex, etc.). If you would like to stay with one of our students, please provide us with your phone number (in the same line as which school you are from) so we can easily contact you. We will do our best to help accommodate as many as we can, but please be aware that we cannot guarantee anything.

Research Initiative – information from Dr. Chatterjee
Dear Medical Student,
I am conducting a research project investigating the impact of medically-related experiences on spatial ability among first- and second-year medical students. One aim of this study is to examine if factors such as past education, occupations, course work, hobbies, medical experience, and extracurricular activities somehow influence a person’s ability to visualize and manipulate objects mentally. A second aim is to investigate potential differences in spatial ability between allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) medical students.
The first part of the survey is designed to collect information on past education, occupations, medical experience, and extracurricular activities. The second part of the survey consists of a battery of six spatial ability tests. These tests will assess each participant’s ability to mentally rotate/flip/or otherwise manipulate objects. The objects presented and the tasks themselves are of varying complexity.
The survey is voluntary and anonymous and will take less than 1 hour to complete.
All participants will have the opportunity to save their information and return at a later time to complete the survey. To thank participants for their time, they will have the opportunity to enter their name and email address for a chance to win one of thirty $10 Amazon e-gift cards.
This project (MU IRB Protocol #: S16.029) was approved by the Marian University IRB on 07/29/2016. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact Dr. Allison Chatterjee, Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine via email atachat...@marian.edu.
The anonymous survey can be found at the following link:

Thank you for your time and consideration.
