OCOM 790 - Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Honors 1
This sixteen-week course offers second-year students the opportunity to advance their understanding of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) and develop greater skill in both the practice and teaching of OMM beyond the level possible in the standard curricula. Topics include methods for providing “constructive feedback.” A weekly instructional hour, which constitutes the lecture portion of the course, is designed to prepare these advanced students to serve as “table trainers” to teach first-year students in the OMM lab. A faculty development session is held during fall term focusing on honors students’ teaching skills. Weekly two-hour lab periods are held, during which second-year honors students supervise the progress and facilitate the understanding of six to eight first-year students. In this setting, faculty lead the lab and serve as a resource for the honors students, answering their questions or helping them answer questions asked by first-year students. A journal club is held once each quarter to review articles relevant to osteopathic philosophy, principles and practice. Honors students evaluate articles and exchange ideas with OMM faculty and postgraduate residents. One, two-hour lab session per term focuses on new diagnostic and therapeutic skills beyond those taught in the standard year-one and year-two courses.
