Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine/ Comprehensive Review Studies

Catalog description

(PCSP only) The Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine rotation is both inpatient and outpatient. Through these experiences, students enhance their knowledge and skills in treating with osteopathic manual techniques that commonly present in a primary care office. Each student rotates with four physicians through various settings: inpatient, outpatient, rural, or urban, for example. Students have opportunities to generate diagnoses and plans of treatment based on their understanding of the dynamics of the patients’ complaints as seen under supervision of the attending faculty. During the “Comprehensive Review” portion of the OMM Rotations, the PCSP students participate in a review of clinical medicine to make an assessment of their clinical medicine knowledge to prepare them for the COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE. These sessions are conducted by the PCSP Faculty and involve discussion groups and testing modalities that provide an extensive reinforcement of the concepts in clinical medicine. The time spent on campus studying during this rotation is monitored to advocate for sufficient study time.
