Osteopathic Manipulation (s)

Catalog description

The Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine 4th Year sub-internship provides students with an opportunity to broaden their professional education by providing direct patient care, with internship-like responsibilities. The rotation provides in-depth exposure to the application of Osteopathic principles, practice, and philosophy; this is a "hands-on" experience. Students spend time in an ambulatory clinic and potentially in an inpatient setting during this rotation, caring for patients of all ages. Under the guidance of physicians who utilize Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, students will take histories, perform structural examinations, and assist in treating patients with common chronic medical problems and structural dysfunctions. While on this clerkship, students will complete a procedure log.
