Affiliated Postgraduate Training Opportunities
In sports medicine programs, fellows acquire general orthopedic and medical knowledge and learn to apply osteopathic principles in the evaluation and treatment of athletic patients, working with athletic trainers, orthopedic surgeons, and other providers to create a holistic, comprehensive, and team-based approach to patient management. An evidence-based approach is used to benefit the athlete-patient, promote wellness, and provide a supportive rehabilitative environment.
The ONMM3 pathway is a one year program that can be completed after finishing any other ACGME-approved residency program. The NMM-OMM Specialist (current terminology for board certification once completing an ONMM residency) or Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (ONMM) Specialist is a subspecialty in the medical profession.
