OMM is used by osteopathic doctors as a hands-on, non-invasive, medication-free treatment option for patients, and it is a requirement in an osteopathic medical student’s curriculum. OMM, also called Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), according to PCOM is a “comprehensive approach to health care in which osteopathic physicians (DOs) apply osteopathic philosophy, structural diagnosis and use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in the diagnosis and management of patients.” The answer to all of these questions and statements is that OMM is an integral part of the COMLEX exams and you will need a solid knowledge base in OMM to be successful in all 3 levels of COMLEX….let me say that again for the person in the back, ALL 3 LEVELS! What is OMM (Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine)? If you are reading this blog post, you are probably thinking “Is OMM really that important for the COMLEX boards?” or “What if I study OMM right before my exam?” or the notorious “I’ll study really hard for the other subjects and just wing the OMM section” (as I’m facepalming in disgust).
