Podcast Description
The goal of DidacticsOnline.com is to provide reviews and comments on various topics in medical discussion. Didactic discussions are an important aspect of medical education. We also hope to add what we refer to as an “Osteopathic voice” whenever possible. We will include information on Osteopathic practices and principles; including approach to patient, use of Osteopathic manipulative therapy and various aspects of the Osteopathic profession. Didacticsonline does not aim to replace other more comprehensive resources. We hope to be a supplement resource and a catalyst for further discussion.
