Students at medical institutions that provide Osteopathic medicine training (DO's) are required to complete at least an extra 200 hours of wellness instruction in the study of manipulation methods for the musculoskeletal system. This training is commonly known as Osteopathic Manipulative Method, OMM, or also known as Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, OMT. OMT is a treatment that D.O. physicians can provide but M.D. physicians cannot provide.
