Advocates for the POMAWho We Are 
The Advocates are diverse in membership and tied together with the purpose of promoting osteopathic medicine to the public and strengthening the osteopathic family. We reach out to physicians (active and retired), spouses/significant others, widows, family members, friends and supporters of osteopathic medicine to support and promote the osteopathic profession, learn about issues facing the osteopath in your life and build a network of people sharing similar concerns and life experiences. 2020-2022 Officers President: Lori Hildebrand The AAOA is proud to present: Surviving and Thriving in the DMD Lifestyle: How the D.M.D Method can help you become a better spouse and parent
We are really excited to host this awesome webinar from point of view we haven’t yet featured in our webinar series. Presentation Description: Living with a physician, raising kids, and trying to live your best life is a professional juggling act. There’s no good manual and therefore many of us try to figure it all out on our own. After Curtis Webster, Jr, founder of Dads Married to Doctors (DMD), got hit in the head with a few too many pins, he realized he needed help, he needed a community that understood the DMD Lifestyle. Fast forward 6 years and Curtis and fellow DMD, Scott McCarthy, have helped 4000+ DMDs apply the D.M.D. Method for becoming a better spouse and parent. Come join us for a webinar and Q and A on April 15th, 8pm eastern, as Curtis and Scott teach the D.M.D. Method and answer questions to help us all better understand the VALUE OF COMMUNITY. That, as Curtis always says, “Life is Better when WE do life TOGETHER!” Zoom Webinar: April 15, 7 PM Central time LINK TO REGISTER: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jbvBU9UfRDG6Wvrku-Izww UPCOMING MEETING: May 5, 2021 Please click on this link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88575329565?pwd=V2hha2UzQW5yVW1ndXpFUGVLNUxDQT09.
