About This Show
AI-drafted summaryOPSC's Annual Convention is the flagship continuing medical education (CME) event of the Osteopathic Physicians & Surgeons of California (OPSC), the state association representing Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) in California. The 2027 gathering, branded "Fun in the Sun 2027," is the organization's 66th Annual Convention and takes place at a beachfront resort in Newport Beach. The program centers on the intersection of food, metabolism, and osteopathic medicine, moving beyond the traditional pillars of well-being—nutrition, movement, sleep, and breath—to spotlight emerging research and clinical advances in metabolic health.
The convention is designed for osteopathic physicians, residents, interns, and medical students, along with other healthcare professionals interested in the whole-person, osteopathic approach to care. Sessions explore how food and metabolism shape holistic patient care, including the links among nutrition, cellular energy, inflammation, and systemic health, with an emphasis on practical, evidence-based frameworks.
Attendees earn AOA Category 1A CME credit—up to 30 hours anticipated for 2027—making the meeting a valuable way to fulfill continuing education and licensure requirements while networking with colleagues in a relaxed Southern California resort setting.
