Education in osteopathic principles and practice is a high point of the intern and resident experience at Riverside for those who are interested, in conjunction with comprehensive training in Family Medicine. Formal osteopathic didactics and osteopathic precepting in the hospital and clinic are provided and supported by all of our faculty. There is hands-on training in manipulation and direct supervision of residents diagnosing and treating their own patients in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. Osteopathic interns and residents become quite comfortable with incorporating osteopathic principles and manipulative skills into their daily practice.
