By the end of the session, participants will be able to: Describe the gap that residencies face when training osteopathic family medicine residents List several barriers to providing osteopathic training in allopathic and dually-accredited family medicine residency programs Describe the the curriculum created at the UMN Department of Family Medicine and Community Health to provide osteopathic training in allopathic and dually-accredited family medicine residency programs.
Founded in 1970 with over 1,800 residency alumni Department located on Twin Cities campus, 73 fulltime faculty and 994 non-salaried community faculty Eight residencies: 3 rural/outstate sites and 5 Twin Cities urban and suburban sites Two fellowships (Sports Med & HPM) Approximately 175 residents at any one time
