Few teaching hospitals embrace and support the principles of Osteopathic Medicine as well as Wilson Medical Center. Here, you will be encouraged to maintain your identity as an Osteopathic physician and develop the skills that make your training unique. Take a look at a few of the reasons Wilson is the perfect place to train for those who wish to enhance their Osteopathic skill set:
- Minimum of 5 OMT clinics each week
- 2 OMT teaching clinics each week
- OMM lectures every week
- OMM inpatient service
- All Osteopathic residents are given the opportunity to moonlight in the OMT clinic in their second and third years of residency
- Academic appointment with the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYCOM)
- Because Wilson is dually accredited by both the AOA and the ACGME, you can receive the training you desire while earning the accreditation you need to allow you to work anywhere in the country
The Osteopathic Internship Year
If you are planning to pursue a residency in Family Practice or Internal Medicine at Wilson, your first year counts as both your Osteopathic Internship Year and PGY-1 year. However, if you are just looking to complete your Osteopathic Internship Year, you can do so at Wilson in one of the best programs in the country. Osteopathic Interns in the one-year program work side by side with interns in the Transitional Year program and go on to the full range of specialty training at both Osteopathic and Allopathic hospitals.
