Just wondering if an MD can learn the manipulation aspect of osteopathic medicine.

Where and how would he go about doing that?

Hello PuKCAO.... you should read what I wrote in the other post... you might like it.. =)

YES MD can learn OMT... the head of OMM at NYCOM taught MDs from europe OMT. It is a 300hr course throughout 1 to 2 years.

Some DOs pay money to take classes for "on going education" in OMT. Where you have to take it at... i have no clue.. maybe someone in here might now.

The American Academy of Osteopathy holds OMT classes regularly open to both DOs and MDs:

I know of the OMT schools in Toronto and Montreal (part-time study) that teach any health care professional willing to learn and pay the fees. They also earn a Diploma of Osteopathy. This school only teaches OMT and does not teach mainstream medicine (MD or DO schools in the US).

At Oklahoma State, there is an M.D. from Baylor that teaches some of the OMM classes. She took the complete OMM courses MS-I through MS-IV in real time with a regular class.

She is a practicing pediatrician, and decided that after recieving treatment on herself, that it would benefit her patients.

Harvard offers a mini-OMM class on a weekend, but what our professor did seems more reasonable.

M.D.'s can even charge for OMM in the office now.
