Carrie Peecher, Cheif Family Medicine Resident

What attracted me to NRMC was the staff and family atmosphere. They follow the principals of God first, family second and career third. There is a lot of respect for the individuals and their lives. Residents are not just used up here, but valued. We are taught to treat our patients as our family members and that makes a big difference in how you feel about your work and patients. The faculty are compassionate and concerned about our learning. They want us to be the best doctors that we can be. They encourage us to push ourselves, grow, and think outside the box.

I did my post graduate at KCOM and we have a great relationship with the university. Often we teach students using their Human Patient Simulation Lab. It is a great opportunity to get hands on teaching experience with great students and facilities.

I know other fellow residents who felt very prepared to graduate from residency after the thorough training they received at NRMC. They always talk positively about how NRMC prepared them for their medical careers.

OMM Plus 1

An “OMM-Plus-1” variant of the program accepts as a second year Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine resident, those osteopathic physicians who have completed an AOA-approved residency in any field.

It is expected that applicants for this program variant are seeking dual certification (in both their primary specialty and OMM) combined with the ability to apply distinctive, time-efficient and cost-effective OPP/OMT to their unique specialty patient population. The “Plus-1” variant places the OMM education in a one-year package after the completion of another residency thus differing from the “OMM-Integrated” Programs which add one year to another residency but are integrated throughout.
