Family Medicine Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (NMM)
The
FM/NMM Residency is an integrated four-year residency
in family medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine.
The
first year has one month of OMM and weekly didactics.
Years two to three consist of 4 months of NMM and 8 months
of FM rotations. One half clinic day is devoted to seeing
OMM patients. Also, on Thursday afternoons there is didactics
and lab for the NMM residents. The program is based upon
Dr. Still's teachings of "knowing anatomy".
Residents
are taught a comprehensive array of Osteopathic approaches
to plan and deliver patient appropriate treatments. Patients
are managed in out and in patient settings. Weekly, half-day
academic sessions are held. The goal of the FM/NMM is
to produce Family Physicians who fully integrate the Osteopathic
approach in diagnosis and treatment of the whole patient.
In addition, special emphasis will be placed on rheumatology,
neurology, endocrinology, immunology, sports medicine
and orthopedics as they relate to the neuromuscloskeletal
system of the patients.
