Osteo Neuromusculoskeletal Med I

The Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine I (ONMM) rotation is a composed of a 2-week course of study that will introduce you to the multifaceted care of patients commonly seen in ONMM practice. This rotation will incorporate an introductory knowledge of medical conditions commonly encountered in an ONMM practice: indications, disease processes, and the technical components of ONMM procedures, including the benefits and alternatives to ONMM approaches. During the rotation, students are expected to perform educational presentations as assigned by the preceptor up to and including morning report presentations, case studies and clinical presentations, participation in conferences and grand rounds. During this clinical course, students will engage in the care of patients presenting with a variety of clinical problems routinely seen on the ONMM service. During this required Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (ONMM) I clerkship rotation, students will utilize their patient centered primary clinical skills and osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal structural examination skills to assess patients for the medical diagnosis of somatic dysfunction. Under directly supervised encounters from the BUCOM faculty, the student will accurately demonstrate the appropriate osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) technique(s), as indicated, in clinical and educational settings.
