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. It provides an additional year of training beyond the requirements of the ACOFP and meets AOA requirements for both FP and NMM certification. In addition, the program is part of the Statewide Osteopathic Principles and Practices Consortium through the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. This affiliation provides residents with a unique opportunity to receive hands-on and didactic training through all of the member hospitals and MSU-COM.

During the PGYII and PGYIII 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 two half-days per week and four monthly rotations in the office of an OMM/NMM specialist in addition to 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 house staff during all three years. (S)he will be present for at least one 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 and AOBNMM boards during PGYIV.
