This is the only available information at this time. I did hear that both Texas and Kirksville have received funding from NCCAM which is great news.
If you are clearly interested in OMT these would be two good choices.
Consider reviewing medline for OMT articles and see which institutions publish the most papers in peer reviewed journals. These are the schools you may want to contact and discuss OMT programs with.
