Our Mission:

The mission of the Department of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine is to cultivate and enhance development of professional behavior, cognitive acumen, tactile and palpatory perception, and therapeutic skill within each student. While it is our privilege to help begin these processes here at Touro University, Nevada, we train our students to join our professors in a never-ending quest for excellence in patient care, extending personal learning and development for the rest of their medical careers.

An osteopathic physician has the broadest education of U.S. medical professionals. Our students study standard-of-care medical, surgical and obstetric practice, but in addition, they learn the distinctive osteopathic philosophy, diagnostic approach and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). Carrying on a tradition started in 1874 by Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O., the OMM Department integrates the latest scientific information. Students learn to approach patient care not only from the perspective of eliminating disease, but also by enhancing host mechanisms for recovery and maintenance of optimal health.
