Osteopathic Program

This combined residency program is offered to osteopathic students in lieu of a rotating internship. During the first year, residents rotate through Obstetrics, Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Pediatric Surgery. The remainder of the program is identical to the allopathic program. A sample schedule for the osteopathic program is shown below.

The Director of Osteopathic Medical Education meets with the residents on a regular basis to discuss osteopathic issues. The program is accredited by the ACGME and the American Osteopathic Association, and graduates are eligible to take both board exams. Four positions per year are designated for this program.
