Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine: Virtual Campus Tour

Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Laboratory

A modern osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) lab was opened in 1996 as part of the College's major campus renovations. Located off the Lotman Lobby in Evans Hall, the lab is where students learn the manipulative techniques unique to osteopathic physicians. The lab includes an audio-visual system with eight monitors so students can see up close the techniques the instructor is demonstrating.

Notable Facts

OMM is incorporated into the training of all osteopathic physicians. With OMM, DOs use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and to encourage the body's natural tendency toward good health.
