Yesterday I met with our new part-time faculty member (Peter Curka, DO) who starts next week and we enjoyed planning our Osteopathic Manual Medicine (OMM) conferences for next year and some of the other projects he will be involved with. DO and Alternative & Integrative Medicine track residents will be required to attend, our other MD residents are welcome and we have two MD faculty members who already have requested to attend the course.
Our OMM Consult Clinic will be open for scheduling in the next six weeks or so. Of course, all the DOs in our practice also are able to schedule OMM in their continuity clinic, but the consult clinic will allow our MD colleagues to easily refer patients for OMM.
We are in the process of setting up an interview with another DO candidate for a full-time faculty position with the residency as well.
Today I interviewed a faculty candidate for Residency who has a CAQ in Sports Medicine (MD) and will take the lead on development of our Sports Medicine fellowship if we are successful in recruiting him. You may remember that one of our 2007 graduates is starting his Sports Medicine fellowship next month and we hope to also recruit him back to join the faculty.
It’s exciting times around here at UTMB!
