What is an Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Pre Doctoral Teaching Fellow?

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 undergraduate osteopathic medical training to accommodate his/her clinical clerkship and fellowship obligations. The fellowship program affords students the opportunity to teach the art and science of osteopathic principles and practice (OPP). It also allows the interested student to practice and perfect his/her skills while working under supervision with experienced osteopathic physicians.

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

  • Have advanced knowledge and skills in osteopathic philosophy, principles, and diagnostic and manipulative skills
  • Have the ability to contribute to the teaching, clinical and research aspects of neuromusculoskeletal medicine/osteopathic manipulative medicine
  • Are life-long, self-directed learners

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, one's peers, one's patients, and to the students who depend heavily upon the Fellows' assistance and expertise.

Allocation of fellowship funds through the financial aid office requires that a financial needs assessment be part of the application process; however, applicant selection will not be based on financial need.
