According to AAAOM President Deborah Lincoln, Dipl. Ac. and Executive Director Rebekah Christensen, "Expo 2010 will serve as AAAOM's bridge to our 2011 "Walk on Washington" to be held in conjunction with our World Conference on Integrative Medicine, where our profession will take the lead to define AOM's role in U.S. health care as an integrative medical provider in the U.S. health care delivery system. As a profession, each milestone and juncture we reach forms the platform for all activity that follows. Join us in Albuquerque when we come together as practitioners, students, businesses, and educators to deepen our clinical practice skills. We will forge the unity and involvement necessary to assure that our combined expertise and knowledge will eloquently and strategically define our political path forward."
