The Korr Symposium: The Man, the Scientist, the Philosopher

The Korr Symposium: The Man, the Scientist, the Philosopher is organized by American Academy of Osteopathy (AAO).

Course description:
Irvin M Korr, PhD began his career in osteopathy as a physiologist who deeply questioned osteopathic medicine.

This virtual symposium is a review of Korr’s decades-long effect on the understanding and expression of osteopathic medicine and a discussion of possible new directions by leading physicians and scientists in their respective fields.

Objectives:
• Understand more about IM Korr as a person from his colleagues and students and his influence in the United States and around the world.
• Review Korr’s physiology research and new insights on osteopathy’s impact on the human body.
• Review Korr’s views on osteopathy’s role in society, medical education, and geriatrics and assess how these could be carried forward.
