OMEDD 1801: Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Rotation

This is a core rotation required of all fourth year students. Each student will spend four weeks in the office of an osteopathic physician who uses an extensive amount of OMT in medical practice. The didactic component will consist of a one-day comprehensive review of osteopathic principles, diagnosis, and common manipulative techniques held on the first day of the rotation in the OMM skills lab on the Downers Grove Campus. At the conclusion of the rotation, a written examination and practical examination will be given. The student will gain practical experience in using osteopathic principles and practices in the clinical setting.
