LECOM Undergraduate Manipulative Medicine Scholars Program

Catalog description

The LECOM Undergraduate Manipulative Medicine Scholars (LUMMOS) Program is a teaching fellowship that has been developed along the guidelines of the American Osteopathic Board of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine’s Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine program. The purpose of this course is to prepare high-achieving students in the art and science of becoming Osteopathic Physician Educators. Students will develop the skills they need to master the Osteopathic techniques taught at the school and the principles those techniques are based on. The students will also learn to think critically in clinical and educational applications of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) and will develop their thought processes in clinical reasoning and judgement. Students will also develop the skills required to provide constructive criticisms to their colleagues and develop assessment modalities to ensure satisfactory understanding of the concepts they teach. The students will also develop their own, novel research project or become a co-investigator on another attending physician’s research, with the goal of publication and presentation of that research at a national conference.
