During her 1969-1970 term as the president of the American Academy of Osteopathy (AAO), Sara E. “Sally” Sutton, DO, agreed to allow a few osteopathic medical students to attend the AAO’s annual convocation. Over the years, student attendance grew until approximately half of the attendees at the convocation are now students. The highlight of the Academy’s student program at each convocation occurs on two evenings, when students fill three lecture halls, surrounding practicing DOs who demonstrate how they use osteopathic manipulative treatment.
