This time last week, the planets aligned, kicking off a solid week of FDM goodness.
The week began with the AFDMA offering the International Certificate of Instruction exam to three seasoned FDM practitioners, all of whom already hold FDM International Certifications. Congratulations to Matt Booth, PT, DPT, Marjorie Kasten, PT, and Jenn Ribar, DO on passing the lengthy and grueling exam!

Fast on the heels of the instructor exam, FDM Academy proudly offered an outstanding iteration of Module 1. DOs, PTs, MDs, and osteopathic medical students rounded out the packed event.
Module 1 offers an intro to the Model, focusing on treatments of the knee, ankle, and shoulder. As a part of the pre-Convocation offerings, 4 hours of additional content was added to the standard Module 1 curriculum, including FDM for cranial complaints and case reports of FDM use on ACL injuries! The special topics were well received and made for a truly unique "Module 1 PLUS".

Following the Module, AFDMA offered the International
Certification exam, available only to those who have completed all three modules as well as a year of practice. Dr. Angela Lim (shown here demonstrating on a fellow physician) left the testing hall with her head held high, joining the growing ranks of FDM-IC providers! Congratulations to Dr. Lim!
As the week drew on, Dr Capistrant gave a splendid lecture to osteopathic medical students and physicians on incorporating FDM into one's differential diagnosis:
