Hello DMU Community!

The OMM Department will be hosting another DMU Community TOPPS (Teaching Osteopathic Practice & Principles to Students). The event is open to all DMU faculty, staff, clinicians, and students at DMU – including PA, DPM, and master’s programs students. As participants in the event, the DMU community members will be volunteers to help first- and second- year DO students practice osteopathic evaluations and provide hands-on treatments.

All DO students will be supervised by OMM Department physicians and the OMM Fellows. DO students will be wearing face masks and eye-protection while working with volunteers. All volunteers and students will be screened upon entering the event.
