Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine I

Catalog description

The Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine I course is designed to provide the student with a fundamental understanding of the principles and philosophies of osteopathic medicine, and to carry this forward to a deeper appreciation of the applications of OMM in clinical medicine. This understanding will allow students to build a foundation of osteopathic knowledge and prepare them to offer their patients an integrated approach to medical care. The courses emphasize diagnosis and treatment using current anatomic, biomechanical, and physiologic principles and provide a foundation for continued education and development within Osteopathic Medicine. The OMM course faculty work in conjunction with other departments to complement and integrate the anatomical and physiologic knowledge received within the systems courses.
