MD with OMM accreditation?

I did a quick search and some outside looking around, didn't find anything conclusive, and am very interested in knowing the answer. Is this an option/possibility? The OMM aspect for me is a major deciding factor on whether to attend DO/MD.

I've never heard of an MD school with OMM accreditation. There are some dual residency programs that make it a focus of their curriculum, but beyond that...

I don't know of any med school with OMM in the curriculum. It's pretty much the only distinguishing factor between MD and DO training. If you want to do OMM, go to a DO school.

With the upcoming merger, however, MD graduates will be able to apply to AOA residencies so that may be an option, although you would have to wait until residency to learn OMM.

I heard Harvard has an equivalent elective. Are there are any Harvard students who want to confirm or deny that?
