Dec. 8, 2016Thursday The DO Staff Contact The DO Staff Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Richard Feely, DO, recently represented the AOA at the first World Health Organization interregional training workshop addressing the quality of traditional and complementary medicine services. At the conference, Dr. Feely gave lectures on improving the quality of traditional and complementary medicine and moderated group discussions on quality improvement. “My talks were primarily on quality of practice, how to define it, how to ensure it with structures in place and how to develop continuous quality improvement,” Dr. Feely says. Dr. Feely notes that he referenced an article from The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association on improving medical education during one of his lectures; the full article was subsequently distributed to attendees. “I used the article to illustrate the point that quality starts with education of practitioners, which requires the practice to define itself and communicate this through its educational process,” Dr. Feely says. At the workshop, Dr. Feely also educated 120 practitioners on osteopathic medicine and its history.
