Is anyone familiar with folks that completed a 3 year ACGME EM residency and then did a +1 OMM residency?

If so, how did they get around the TRI requirement?
Q,Tedsadoc,Freeeeedom etc. I guess you guys would be the ones likely to answer this.

Thanks-

I've never known any EM resident to complete the OMM residency. I have a friend who is doing the one year OMM fellowship but he is an FP resident. I don't know what TRI requirements are.

Sorry-
I'm asking about the transitional rotating internship. (or is it RTI?)
All the +1 programs I have seen (all 2 of them) require the intern year plus your residency.

would you actually use a lot of omm in em ?? or is this for something outside of the 'pit' ?

From what I've read on here and what I hear from my advisor/attendings, omm in EM is generally a diagnostic tool. These skills are the ones any DO should be equipped with when they graduate. As Quinn pointed out some time ago, HVLA doesn't belong in the ED.

However, as I get deeper into my career thinking, a sideline as an OMM consultant looks pretty good. There is an attending here that grandfathered into EM and NMM. He works full time in the ED and is an in-house consultant for OMM.

Consultancy requires board certification and that comes only with residency.

The guy that encouraged me to go DO is an MD board-certified in EM. He has a great side practice in preventive care. One of his better lines was "EM is so reactive, I really need to balance this with something positive and proactive". He is a clinical guru and a pretty healthy individual.
