Hi all! I have an interview with TCOM next week and I was wondering where I can find more info about OMM (or is it OMT?) I feel like the AOA website doesn't say much about it and I would be stumped if I was asked any specific questions during my interview. I've been trying to chase down my FP (DO) to ask him, but he has recently changed practices and I haven't been able to talk to him.
I'd love any insight or info sources you guys have!
Thanks!
try www.google.com with Osteopathic OMT
as your search criteria - there were a few hits that looked like they'd have some info.
I also ran a MEDLINE search for OMT Osteopathic and found a large number of hits - most in
J Am Osteopath Assoc
if you can find that journal in your library - I'd peruse the articles therein - or read the abstracts online to get some feel for the types of research- most of the studies sound interesting like:

Thanks guys! I also found a useful thread on SDN (really!) on the pre-osteo forum that talks about OMM.
