Beschreibung des Programms

Training in clinical skills and physical diagnosis begins in the fall semester of the first academic year with coursework in clinical skills and osteopathic manipulative techniques. The Physical Diagnosis Lab is a learning space where students may engage in a variety of experiential learning and assessment activities that promote and evaluate the development of the clinical skills required of an osteopathic physician. These experiential activities include:

training in osteopathic manipulative techniques;
hands-on physical examination and interviewing practice;
instruction in basic ultrasound techniques, correlated with physical exam skills;
competency-based assessments.

The Physical Diagnosis Lab is a single large facility that includes 32 exam tables, where students learn clinical skills and manipulation techniques. Students develop and practice skills in doctor-patient communications, the use of basic medical equipment, auscultatory and palpatory skills that can assist with the diagnosis of a patient’s medical condition, and manipulation skills that may be used in treating musculoskeletal dysfunction. A raised dais for instruction and high-definition monitors and cameras allow students to view from anywhere in the lab space.

Informationen über das Institut

The Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine utilizes the latest technologies and learning methods to ensure success in the classroom and future professional practice. Led by highly experienced professionals from osteopathic, allopathic, and general higher education, the College is committed to impacting the workforce needs and access to quality medical services in the region. A large network of physicians has been developed for the clinical years of education, with students rotations available throughout New Mexico, Tucson (AZ), El Paso (TX), and Rockledge (FL). This includes a selection of generalist and specialty clinical clerkship rotations. The College’s campus is a newly constructed building located in the Arrowhead Research Park on the New Mexico State University (NMSU) campus. The space offers an array of impressive resources including lecture halls and seminar rooms for traditional and collaborative learning, a hybrid gross-virtual anatomy lab, a standardized patient facility, a physical diagnosis lab, and a simulation center utilizing high-fidelity mannequins. Through the College’s library, students have access to core medical and osteopathic collection materials including electronic databases and journals, print and electronic books, and media titles. The Biosciences Research Laboratory, which is a fully equipped BSL-2 facility, is available to support faculty-driven research which may involve supervised research experiences for students. The College has dedicated study spaces for student study including, but not limited to, a 3500 sq.ft. outdoor covered patio and two student lounge areas, one of which is accompanied by a cafe. While the Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine is a private, freestanding College, our unique partnership with NMSU allows students to enjoy the benefits that come with a major public university including access to NMSU study spaces, libraries, activity center, aquatic center, tennis center, and campus health center.
