Rotations and Curriculum

Curriculum and Rotation

Over the course of the three-year program, our residents focus on the full spectrum of family care. Each year residents will focus on different aspects of care. In addition to monthly assignments, we place an emphasis on longitudinal experiences, such as evidence-based medicine, practice management, geriatrics, behavioral science and obstetrics.

We also stress procedures in our procedures clinic, such as joint aspiration and injection, skin biopsy, colposcopy, wound care, musculoskeletal ultrasound, dermatologic, osteopathic, contraception and gynecologic.

Osteopathic Experiences and Curriculum

Osteopathic experiences include osteopathic education/experience in the clinical setting, osteopathic clinic/OMT clinic and osteopathic didactics and OMT hands-on labs.

• Curriculum embraces treatment of the whole person, which is consistent with our general approach to family medicine.
• Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) didactic care is integrated into weekly conferences at a frequency of once per month.
• OMT clinics are scheduled regularly during office hours with direct supervision by an osteopathic manipulative therapy-trained preceptor.
• Once a DO is signed off (by completing 20 supervised procedures), DOs may do OMT at their discretion at any time when in FMC office hours.
• May provide OMT to hospitalized patients when on the inpatient service
• OMT rotation is available for both DOs and MDs.
• DOs have opportunities to help teach/spread knowledge of OMT to allopathic colleagues and medical students in office, on inpatient service and during didactics.
• MDs may choose their level of involvement in the osteopathic curriculum, ranging from participation in didactics to full participation as a designated osteopathic resident. MDs have the opportunity to learn osteopathic techniques that can be easily applied in future practice.
