About

This is the official blog of the NMM/OMM Fellows from Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific.  Here you can learn about the fellowship, peek at some of our recent activity, and see where former fellows are today. Welcome, and take a look around!

The Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Pre Doctoral Teaching Fellowship Program is a twelve-month training program integrated within the student’s third and fourth clinical clerkship years. An additional year is added to the student’s osteopathic medical training to accommodate his/her clinical clerkship and fellowship obligations. The fellowship program affords students the opportunity to teach the science and art of osteopathic principles and practice (OPP). It also allows the interested student to practice and perfect his/her skills while working under supervision of experienced osteopathic physicians.

The goals of the fellowship program are to help develop future osteopathic physicians who:

• Have the ability to teach applications of osteopathic philosophy and principles in practice
• Have advanced skills in osteopathic diagnosis and manipulative treatment
• Contribute to advancing the discipline of neuromuscular medicine/osteopathic manipulative medicine through education, research and clinical practice

The NMM/OMM PDT Fellows are respected members of the teaching, research, and service team in COMP’s NMM/OMM Department. The position requires a strong commitment to the department faculty, peers, patients, and to the students who depend heavily upon the Fellows’ assistance and expertise.
