I have been looking very seriously at family medicine and love the idea of doing a unopposed, rigorous, procedure heavy program such as Ventura (CA) or JPS (TX). However, I am going to an osteopathic school and don't want to sacrifice my osteopathic education by going to a MD residency. I would like to be able to continue my OMT education and leave the door open for a NMM plus one residency if I choose to do so after my family med residency (I recognize this can be done after a non-DO residency but would prefer a DO one if possible). Is anyone aware of programs in the osteopathic world similar to this?
One of the biggest things that draws me to family med is the MASSIVE scope available to those who are willing to learn it. I really like the idea (at least i think I do), of being well educated in multiple procedures in both an inpatient and outpatient setting.
I have done a reasonable bit of searching and none of the AOA residencies seem to really try to brag about being procedure heavy, and from what I could tell there were only a handful that talked about being unopposed.
Thanks in advance!
