What advice would you have for students in allopathic medical school who want to learn osteopathic techniques? Don't say dropout 🙂 cause I love my school... I just want to learn the manual techniques, too.

I think Harvard, Yale, or someone like that has offered training for MD's. Do a search as I'm not quite sure, but have seen something about that.

I think you can learn OMM through continuing medical education (CME) after your residency.

Yeah I agree with the CME option. Osteo forum might give you more help. I will add though that in an office I shadowed in an MD did OMM...ironically, the DO I was shadowing at the time did not! 🙂 So it's definaetly done.
