SAAO Still Points

STILL POINTS

A Still Point is a creative expression of the osteopathic student experience. These expressions can range from essay, video and photography to poetry and beyond. Quality submissions may be published on the SAAO section of the AAO website and on social media to allow students to get a glimpse of the talents of others in the osteopathic family.

Below are the guidelines for submission. Any questions or concerns may be emailed to the SAAO secretary-treasurer at [email protected].
