NATIONAL BOARD OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL EXAMINERS (NBOME)

NBOME’s Learning Center has courses for health professionals and continuing medical education. A course that addresses OMT treatment is:

The Osteopathic Approach to Patients with Respiratory Infections

The National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) created this course as a resource for osteopathic medical students, residents and other DOs and members of the healthcare community in a time of national and global public health crisis.

This is a self-guided educational assessment program on OMT for Patients with Respiratory Infections. The course has three main sections:

1. OMT for Patients with Respiratory Infections: The Hands-On Treatment
2. History of OMT for Patients with Respiratory Infections
3. Research of OMT for Patients with Respiratory Infections

You can complete the individual sections in any order, or just review the section of your choice. A certificate of completion will be available for those completing all 3 sections and the self-assessment.

However, if you are just interested in a refresher on OMT hands-on modalities, the first section, OMT for Patients with Respiratory Infections: Hands-on Treatment, can be completed on its own as a quick review of the step-by-step aspects of the treatment.
