About the program

It’s a treatment system which deals with the structure of the body, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and all the connecting tissues, their relationship with each other, and the effects of their health status on the various body systems. Osteopathic medicine focuses on teaching a person how to avoid disease by following a healthy lifestyle. People always turn to an osteopathic specialist to treat back and neck pain, joint pain or injuries, and this treatment is also used as a cure for many internal diseases. It is also used as an integral part of sports medicine for athletes' injuries.
It is a medicine specified in the philosophy of the person in which doctors or practitioners embrace a method by which they treat a person entirely and not only in relation to his complaints. Attention is given to helping the body to heal itself, as they view the human body as one unit or one organ, and there is a focus on the body’s mechanics and the relationships of the intervening organs and the body systems as well.
However, there is a special focus on the skeleton of the body, where doctors use manual therapy with or instead of the traditional treatment of drugs and surgery in order for the person to enjoy his health. After serving on the front lines of the fighting in the American Civil War as a surgeon, and after losing his three children to vertebral meningitis, Andrew Taylor Still became unconvinced and pessimistic about the current medicine.
This was in the middle of the last century when the available treatment was useless in most cases. So Still wanted to find a treatment method which is more sympathetic to the patient and more beneficial. After experiments, he made sure that manual methods alone were remarkably more effective than other methods in the cases they dealt with most. In 1874 he began to use manual methods of treatment, which he called osteopathy, with surgery also in a very large clinic, and he became known for the successes he achieved.
Eighteen years later, after proving that these methods were more effective than the methods available at the time, he established the first school to teach it, which he called the Osteopathy School of Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri State. Treatment and hand scrubs are not new as an idea, and folk medicine all over the world contains forms of this treatment, but it has remained for treating back problems, not for various conditions, as Andrew Still put it. Andrew Still believed in the body’s own potential for healing, and the necessity that the sources of blood and nerves for all body tissues be unimpeded for these tissues to function properly.
If a structural problem, such as a muscle strain, curvature of the spine, etc., interferes negatively with the blood flow and nerve, then the body's ability to heal and disease may be negatively affected. So, he established a method for treating or scrubbing by hand to return any structural deviations to normal. Still was the first to provide a reasonably plausible explanation for the importance of the spine for maintaining health as it surrounds the spinal cord. It is possible to consider the spinal cord as an accessory to the brain that controls all activities of the body, not only the muscles, but also important vital organs such as the kidneys, heart, liver and lungs, as well as blood vessels and glands. Any interference with the nerves passing to and from the brain through the spinal cord is bound to affect the normal functioning of the tissues that pass through them or to them.
He emphasized three basic principles of healing, which are: 1. The healthy, natural body includes within it the ability to defend and repair injuries in cases of infection and the effects of toxicity and accidents. 2. The body is one unit, and when there is an abnormal structural or functional situation, it negatively affects the other parts. 3. The body can defend or fit in the best possible way if its structure is in its maximum dynamic and flexible position. As a result of the idea that the body contains its own defenses, the disease occurs when these defenses weaken, and that this weakness has occurred because the body has become mechanically incorrect.
Dr. Still looked at his patients in the same way, leaving the usual method of treating symptoms without looking for the causes. And it was after asking the patient about everything related to him that the doctor considered the alternative related to his disease condition as we have seen in the previous chapters, he used to examine the connective tissues with his fingers, and he used to manually examine the internal organs such as the liver and stomach. This is what Still was studying in that the structure and function (of the organs) are inextricably linked,

and this is what he said: The skeletal system is made up of bones, ligaments, muscles and the peritoneum (which is the layer that is located directly under the skin and which consists of bundles of flexible fibrous tissue that envelop Muscles, nerves, and different organs) form one structure which when exposed (from its normal position) can cause changes in the functions of other parts of the body. Contrary to the generally accepted ideas today, Dr. Still attaches great importance to the diagnosis and treatment of the peritoneum as well as the spine. This was his advice: The peritoneum is the place where you search for the causes of disease, and it is the place where treatment for all diseases begins. The musculoskeletal system is made up of bones, ligaments, muscles, and the peritoneum (which is the layer that is located directly under the skin and which consists of bundles of flexible fibrous tissues that envelop the muscles, nerves and various organs) that form a single structure which when exposed (from its normal position) can make changes In functions of other parts of the body. Contrary to the generally accepted ideas today,
The Al-Ahliyya Amman University - Training and Consulting Department curriculum is designed to be highly integrated to provide both a rigorous foundation in the fundamental principles of the biomedical sciences and a robust emphasis on the clinical sciences. foundational concepts in anatomy, biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, microbiology, immunology, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology, osteopathic principles and practice, communication skills, osteopathic terminology, osteopathic physical examination, clinical scenarios and development of clinical skills, the history, principles and practice of osteopathic medicine, physical and differential diagnosis, medical ethics, interprofessional education, professionalism, research, and the legal aspects of medicine, an education in the general areas of family medicine, surgery, surgical subspecialties, pediatrics, women’s health, behavioral health, internal medicine, internal medicine subspecialties, and emergency medicine, Osteopathic Principles and the Iliosacral Joint, The Pelvic Organs, The Lumbar Spine, Cranial Osteopathy, Applied Neurology, The Hip and the Knee, The Ankle and the Foot, Safety, The Sacroiliac Joint, The Kidneys and the Adrenal Glands, The Liver and the Gall Bladder, The Thoracic Spine and the Ribs, Integration, The Intestines, The Stomach, The Pancreas and the Spleen, The Cervical Spine, The Heart, the Lungs and the Thyroid, The Upper Extremity, The Fascia, Integration and Practical Exam, The Foot and Chains in the Lower Extremity, The Elbow, the Wrist and the Hand + Practical Exam, The Shoulder, The Diaphragm, Neurology II & Exclusion diagnosis, Introduction Visceral Osteopathy, The Liver and the Gallbladder, The Esophagus, The Surrenal Glands.

Osteopathic medicine focuses on teaching a person how to avoid disease through healthy behavior and lifestyle. This medicine is also used for many other conditions such as arthritis, allergies, chest crisis, Dizziness, menstrual pain, migraine, sciatica, sinusitis and problems related to the jaw joints. Osteopathic medicine also helps relieve symptoms of discomfort, as in the case of back pain in pregnancy and digestive problems. Osteopathic medicine relates to the elderly as it reduces the effects of aging factors related to the spine and joints. It is also used as a supplement to sports medicine for athletes' injuries. This treatment is also used to facilitate the movement of body fluids, restore normal tissue functions, and relieve a person from joint pain and any associated dysfunction. These procedures have different forms depending on the needs of the patient, and the most famous of them are methods related to joint movement: It is a method related to moving the joints within their range in order to restore their normal functions. And the method of counter-stress: In this method, a position of the body that relieves pain for the patient is discovered. This method includes a mixture of movements that the patient reaches with the specialist and repeatedly practices between pushing, pressure, relaxation, and generally changing positions to stimulate the point that achieves comfort for the patient.

Al-Ahliyya Amman University

Al-Ahliyya Amman University is the first private university established in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan by a decree of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in 1989. The University opened its doors in 1990 with three faculties namely the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and the Faculty of Administrative & Financial Sciences. In the following year, the Faculty of Pharmacy & Medical Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering were established. In 2001 AAU founded the Faculty of Information Technology and inaugurated the Faculty of Nursing in 2005. In 2010, AAU introduced the Faculty of Architecture and Design which was approved to include Architecture, Graphic and Interior Design specializations. By doing so, the number of faculties became eight offering 29 Bachelor programs. Moreover, the University offered eight Master’s programs the first of which was the Master Program in Law which in 2005 was part of the Graduate Studies. AAU provides students with distinguished Graduate Studies Programs and with distinctive Faculty members. To meet the administrative, financial and technical working needs in the University environment, AAU has provided qualified administrative cadres in various administrations and departments which aim to provide the best services to the university community of students and their parents as well as to the academic staff. Thus, twenty-seven years have passed since the inception of AAU in which it continued providing the local and regional markets with elite graduates who occupied important positions in local and regional institutions whether in the public or private sectors. Moreover, a number of AAU graduates have pursued their Graduate Studies in the most prestigious European and American universities. Additionally, a number of them are working in AAU and other Jordanian, regional and international universities. It is worth mentioning that the number of graduates in the various specializations that AAU offered reached (24.338) male and female students.

Al-Ahliyya Amman University is committed to develop and apply the "Quality Assurance Standards in Higher Education Institutions" and to follow any other adopted quality standards by investing human and physical energies to produce an academically and morally outstanding generation who is able to deal with the requirements of the time and to keep up with the new developments efficiently and effectively. This act aims to meet the needs of students, and to enable the University to play its role in promoting academic research, community services and to depict Jordan as a distinctive educational destination at the regional level.

CMA

The Complementary Medical Association, The world’s biggest & leading association of research, academic training&recognition of colleges & therapists worldwide in the fields of complementary & integrative medicine.

Mission & Objectives

The Complementary Medical Association's (The CMA) primary aim is to promote ethical, responsible, professional complementary medicine to the public and the medical profession.

We believe that by promoting The CMA and its Registered Members & Colleges in all categories, though the media and online in a hugely high-profile manner, we are able to help the public and doctors to realize that complementary and integrative medicine is - when delivered safely and ethically - a viable and highly desirable form of healthcare. In addition, here at the CMA, we are totally dedicated to representing "the professional face of complementary medicine" and by promoting research, education and knowledge in the field, we will help to stimulate demand for the medicine of the 21st century and beyond.

The CMA is great news for professional practitioners, ethical colleges and patients who demand and expect excellence in every aspect of treatment.

What is the CMA?

The CMA is a not-for-profit organization which means that any funds we raise, through membership fees, book, training and product sales or donations are invested straight back into the organization.

A great part of our work consists of referring public and conventional medics alike to CMA registered practitioners so that they can be assured that treatment will be delivered

by a highly qualified, insured practitioner who adheres to a strict Code of Ethics and disciplinary procedure. We call this the "CMA Referrals Scheme".

In addition, we are able to help members of the public who wish to train in the complementary medical field to access our Registered Training Schools and Colleges. We provide assistance to Schools who wish to have their courses Registered and Accredited by the CMA.

We work closely with the conventional medical profession as we ultimately believe that the most important person after all, is the patient, and we believe that by presenting the patient with good, accurate information about complementary medical approaches they can make responsible informed decisions about their own health care. It is important to remember that both complementary and conventional medicine have a great deal to offer - when used appropriately, justifiably and responsibly. Ultimately, the freedom to choose one's own health care is a vital human right which should be protected.

Our History

The CMA was established in early 1993, by Jayney Goddard, in response to the overriding lack of public and medical knowledge about the complementary medical profession. During the initial two years we devoted our time to performing the market research that would indicate whether there could be a viable way of raising the profile of ethical, responsible complementary medicine. It was vital to establish and justify whether "yet another organization" needed to exist in the already saturated complementary medical organization field.

We spent a long time analyzing the entire arena and found that nothing was being done at that time by any membership body or organization to promote practitioners

or training schools in a high profile, professional manner.

Furthermore, at that time, complementary medicine had a very unprofessional profile; somewhat akin to a cottage industry. This was a sorry state of affairs and it became rapidly apparent that The CMA needed to exist if professional complementary medicine were to stand a chance.

Here at The CMA we are a dedicated team of committed professionals (we're all qualified healthcare practitioners) and we are absolutely serious about achieving our mission. We have always had a commitment to making sure that our Members can contact us easily and will always be able to get through to a real person at the end of the phone line. In addition, our e-communications are exceptionally effective and we are able to disseminate important information to our Members extremely rapidly and efficiently.

Where are we now?

The CMA opened its doors to members at the beginning of 1995 and to date, The CMA represents the interests of thousands of practitioners in various categories - including students and 180+ Training Schools/Colleges with additional organizations approaching us regularly. We also have another membership section, "Friends of the CMA" which comprises a variety of supporters, all of whom are keen to support the work of the CMA.

The CMA has a high media profile and we constantly work with major media organizations.

We are committed to cultivating a high media profile, through which we achieve in excess of ten individual media exposures per week including TV, radio, magazines, newspapers and the Internet. Our estimated monthly reach is circa 650,000 individuals.

We are committed to thinking creatively when it comes to promoting our members and we are dedicated to working creatively when promoting our Member's interests - just one example of this is that The CMA has - over the years - even undertaken extremely high-profile promotional campaigns utilizing advertising space on London Underground trains and Docklands Light Railway.

What We Do

q Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Hugely important for us all in this profession. We offer practitioners lots of opportunities to keep their professional skills up-to-date with courses, seminars, ongoing tutorials and more by the leading lectures of UK & Europe.

These licenses cost up to £1000+ and practicing without one leaves the practitioner open to a fine of up to £5000+. By registering with the CMA, after we approve their professional level and training, they are covered under our umbrella exemption – saving you thousands – and protecting them and their practice.

q CMA weekly e-Newsletter

This fantastically informative email brings practitioners the very latest news and research from around the world on all aspects of complementary medicine, natural health and wellness – and relevant conventional medical findings too.

q CMA Training / Courses

The CMA is dedicated to keeping our Members at the top of their profession, to this end we consistently offer ongoing training – with a particular emphasis on practice and training school development. CMA Members benefit from hugely discounted rates for these courses, compared to non- Members. CMA is an academic supporter of complementary medicine colleges, which meet the high criteria of the CMA, and after examining in-depth the curricula and study conditions that the college grants to students, the CMA grants a certificate of recognition to the college.

q Liaison at governmental level representing All CMA Members

The CMA is a Member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Complementary and Integrative Medicine in UK. This means that we are representing practitioners’ interests at Governmental level – and can shape policy within this field to support our Members. CMA Members are allowed to attend these meetings at the House of Commons by arrangement.

q Webinars, Seminars, CPD workshops and further qualifications

The CMA liaises with various respected organization who are offering further training to our Members. If we believe that these trainings are of value, we negotiate special rates for our Members as part of our Membership Benefits package.

In addition to each certificate that the graduates receive from AUEDI, each graduate also receives an international certificate from CMA.
