Family Medicine Adds AOA Accreditation

Family Medicine has earned accreditation from the American Osteopathic Association for six of its 24 resident positions, which was effective April 30. These accredited positions will be available to two new residents each year. This will allow Family Medicine to provide residents the training they need to become board-certified practitioners of osteopathic medicine, including training in osteopathic manipulation treatment. Doctors of osteopathic medicine use conventional methods of diagnosis and treatment but are also trained in manipulation and work toward disease and injury prevention. The Family Medicine program has been training physicians with both medical (MD) and osteopathic (DO) degrees since 1974. For more information, contact Amy Keenum, PharmD, DO, at 305-9352.
