Welcome to the official website for the Midwestern University Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine Residency in Glendale, Arizona. If you are interested in learning about our program or are ready to submit an application, you are in the right place. Our program offers an exemplary residency faculty with a diverse skill set to help you develop proficiency in your treatment of patients and preparation for your AOBNMM board examination. All our residents serve as clinical faculty teaching in the university’s OMM Department as clinical assistant professors. Residents are considered part of our close-knit osteopathic family and serve an important academic teaching role in the clinic and hospital settings. Our campus and clinic provide an ideal learning environment, and our library offers many online and print osteopathic resources. Our residents are taught OMM skills by residency faculty and are taught anatomy by PhD anatomists in the university’s cadaver lab. Research opportunities are available based on resident interest. I am most proud of our residency's friendly work environment and diverse faculty skillset. I hope you will consider interviewing with our program. I am confident that you will not be disappointed.
