Student OMM Clinic

The Student OMM Clinic is designed to give second-year students the opportunity to provide OMT to patients under the supervision of OP&P faculty. The goals of the clinic are to: introduce students to clinical practice; provide experience in performing a history and physical exam; introduce coding for somatic dysfunction and manipulative treatment; provide experience in diagnosis and treatment of somatic dysfunction; encourage the use of OMT in a primary care setting.

Students are required to attend 10 weekly clinic sessions. A comprehensive written exam for OP&P is given in the spring following the Student OMM Clinic.

Students test the cervicothoracic diaphragm for myofascial restrictions.
