OsEAN Open Forum – Vienna, 2016

This is the application to OsEAN Open Forum – Conference "Teaching the Soft Skills", April
21 st and 22 nd , 2016. It gives you the opportunity to have all important information about the
Open Forum (e.g. program, venue, hotels and other) directly on your mobile device.

For a long time the soft skills like professionalism, communication or self-regulation have
been a blind spot in osteopathic education, and even now many schools are struggling to get a
grip on topics that are harder to define, teach and assess than anatomy or technique. This is
why the next OsEAN Open Forum will focus on the topic "Teaching the Soft Skills", featuring
presentations and workshops in these important areas:

Osteopath-patient communication
Professionalism and ethics
Self-regulation and self-care
Maximizing the placebo effect

Osteopath-patient communication
Professionalism and ethics

As we did for previous Open Forums, we have arranged the dates of this conference in
conjunction with one of our member schools, the Wiener Schule für Osteopathie, who will
organize a separate conference on the topic of "Mindbody | Bodymind" at the same venue on
April 23rd - 24th. You can attend the conferences back to back, although a separate
registration is necessary.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all at this exciting event!
