Principles of Primary Care and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
Principles of Primary Care and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (PPC/OMM) is taught throughout the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» curriculum by faculty physicians who practice primary care medicine, osteopathic medicine, or sports medicine. The OMM curriculum is reinforced in the third and fourth years of study through clinical experiences with Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» faculty, demonstrating the incorporation of manipulative medicine skills into clinical rotations and practice.
The PPC/OMM curriculum at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» is directed toward the development of primary care physicians. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» faculty believe, whether a student chooses primary care or a medical specialty, they will benefit from a broad-based primary care curriculum and a whole-patient approach to care. OMM is an important skill for the primary care physician and is therefore taught throughout the pre-clinical and clinical years. Fellowship tracts are also available for residents who wish to learn more in the area of OMM.
