Integrated Family Practice and Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine Residency
The goal of the Integrated Family Practice/NMM Residency program is to provide the resident with a combination of training in Family Practice/NMM. This program provides an additional year of training beyond the requirements of the ACOFP and fulfills the requirements of the AOBNMM. The integrated residency program meets AOA requirements for both FP and NMM certification.
During the PGYII, PGYIII, and PGYIV years, residents will spend one-half day per week and four monthly rotations in the office of an OMM/NMM specialist. The PGYIV year allows for extensive additional educational experiences, including rotations in sports medicine, orthopedics, neurology, and NMM. Residents will develop skills as an educator and researcher and achieve an understanding of integrating use of multidisciplinary aspects of patient care. The resident will gain an understanding of delivering cost-effective care while maintaining excellent quality of care. The resident will provide lectures to the residents and house staff during all three years. He/She will be present for at least on half day a week in the family practice resident clinic to see patients or assist in preceptorship of residents or students. This presence in the FP resident clinic will provide an additional educational resource to those rotating through the clinic. The resident is eligible to sit for the ACOFP boards and the AOBNMM boards during PGYIV.
